Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a prototype protein of long pentraxin. PTX3 is produced by various cells, such as monocytes/macrophages (M phi s) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and proinflammatory signals. We performed immunoblotting, immunohistochemical staininig. reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), quantitative real-time PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of PTX3 in human monocyte-derived M phi s and neutrophils. PTX3 expression was observed in the cytoplasm of both GM-CSF induced monocyte-derived M phi (GM-M phi) and M-CSF induced monocyte-derived M phi (M-M phi). PTX3 level in both M phi s was up-regulated at 24 It after LPS stimulation. Moreover, we confirmed PTX3 expression in freshly isolated neutrophils, and PTX3 level was distinctly up-regulated at 6 and 24 It after LPS stimulation. These findings suggested that PTX3 expression, not only in M phi s, but also in neutrophils, may reflect the role of PTX3 in inflammation. We believe that PTX3 can contribute as a diagnostic tool to evaluate inflammation at peripheral sites. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
