    Abstract:
    CD14, the leukocyte co-receptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is important in the response of bovine polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMN) to Gram-negative bacteria. In other species, the expression of CD14 on the surface of PMN was shown to increase after exposure to inflammatory stimuli. These newly expressed molecules may originate from either an intracellular pool or through new gene expression. We sought to characterize bovine PMN cell surface expression and shedding of CD14 molecules, and CD14's effect on secretion of the chemoattractants IL-8 and IL-1beta by PMN. Bovine PMN were incubated in RPMI for 20 h at 37 degrees C with LPS (1, 10, 100 microg/mL). IL-8 release increased with treatment of 1 microg/mL LPS, but decreased 41.5 and 95% at the 10 and 100 microg/mL concentrations of LPS, respectively. In contrast, shedding of CD14 from the surface of PMN only increased at the highest concentration of LPS (100 microg/mL). Secretion of IL-1beta was similar regardless of the LPS concentration used to stimulate PMN. The effect of PMN concentration (1 x 10(7), 2.5 x 10(7), 5 x 10(7), and 10 x 10(7)/mL) on CD14 cell surface expression and shedding of IL-8 and IL-1beta were also determined. Shedding of CD14 by PMN increased with increasing concentration of PMN after exposure to 0.1 and 10 microg/mL of LPS, while secretion of IL-8 decreased. IL-1beta increased at the highest concentration of PMN. The use of real time polymerase chain reaction showed that CD14 mRNA expression was not different between control and LPS-stimulated cells, indicating that the sCD14 came from either membrane bound CD14 or a preformed pool. Our results demonstrate that release of CD14 from PMN suppresses secretion of IL-8, and may be an important regulatory mechanism for controlling excessive migration of PMN into the bovine mammary gland.
