In vivo Mononuclear Phagocyte Migration: Paradoxical Effect of Adrenalectomy

The effect of adrenalectomy on neutrophil and monocyte migration into rat peritoneal and pleural cavities was investigated. Carrageenin- or thioglycollate-induced neutrophil emigration into both cavities was enhanced by adrenalectomy. In contrast, monocyte migration into peritoneal cavities induced...

description The effect of adrenalectomy on neutrophil and monocyte migration into rat peritoneal and pleural cavities was investigated. Carrageenin- or thioglycollate-induced neutrophil emigration into both cavities was enhanced by adrenalectomy. In contrast, monocyte migration into peritoneal cavities induced by these two stimuli was significantl decreased. In pleural cavities, adrenalectomy enhanced the monocyte migration induced by carrageenin but had no effect on that induced by thioglycollate. Administration of physiological doses of glucocorticoids reversed the effect of adrenalectomy on monocyte migration by both stimuli into both cavities. The results support the hypothesis that endogenous glucocorticotds negatively control neutrophil migration independently of the site or type of stimulus. Their role in monocyte migration is, however, dependent on the site of injury and on the type of inflammatory stimulus. There is no obvious explanation for the divergent influence of endogenous glucocorticoids on the monocyte emigration into peritoneal and pleural cavities observed with different stimuli.
