• Cytosis: O Neutrophilia: Defined As an Increase in the Neutrophilic Count in the Peripheral Blood Above Reference Range for Age
HENATOLYMPHOID SYSTEM THIRD YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS-UNIVERSITY OF JORDAN AHMAD T. MANSOUR, MD NONNEOPLASTIC DISEASES OF THE WHITE BLOOD CELLS • There are five major types of WBCs in the blood: neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils and monocytes. • The normal function of the white blood cells depends on a tight regulation of their count and their function. Therefore, disease develops if there is a derangement of the cells count or function, it takes one of the following forms: o Cytosis: increase in the number of circulating cells above reference range. (Note: leukocytosis means an increase in the WBC count, neutrophilia means increase in the neutrophilic count, lymphocytosis means increase in the lymphocytic count, monocytosis means increase in the monocytic count, basophilia means increase in the basophilic count and eosinophilia means in crease in the eosinophilic count). o Cytopenia: decrease in the number of circulating cells below reference range. (Note: neutropenia means decreased neutrophils, lymphocytopenia, or simply lymphopenia, means decrease in lymphocytes, monocytopenia means decrease in monocytes, eosinopenia means decrease in eosinophils, and basopenia means decrease in basophils). o Abnormal or absent function • Cytosis: o Neutrophilia: defined as an increase in the neutrophilic count in the peripheral blood above reference range for age. o Causes: bacterial infection is the most common and most important etiology. Tissue necrosis in cases of burns or trauma and medications such as epinephrine and corticosteroids are also additional causes for neutrophilia. § Some physiologic conditions can lead to neutrophilia such as stress, smoking and pregnancy. o Pathophysiology: neutrophils are present in the blood in two populations: circulating and marginal (meaning neutrophils stuck to the vessel wall). -

Reprogramming of a Subpopulation of Human Blood Neutrophils By
Laboratory Investigation (2009) 89, 1084–1099 & 2009 USCAP, Inc All rights reserved 0023-6837/09 $32.00 Reprogramming of a subpopulation of human blood neutrophils by prolonged exposure to cytokines Arpita Chakravarti1, Daniel Rusu1, Nicolas Flamand2, Pierre Borgeat1 and Patrice E Poubelle1 Essential cells of innate immunity, neutrophils are often considered to be a homogenous population of terminally differentiated cells. During inflammation, neutrophils are extravasated cells exposed to local factors that prolong their survival and activate their production of mediators implicated in disease progression. In this study, a phenotypically distinct subset of human neutrophils that appear after prolonged exposure to cytokines was characterized. Freshly isolated neutrophils from healthy donors were incubated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, tumor necrosis factor-a and interleukin (IL)-4, three cytokines that are locally present in various inflammatory conditions. Eight to 17% of neutrophils survived beyond 72 h. This subset of non-apoptotic neutrophils, as evaluated by three different markers, was enriched by discontinuous Percoll gradient centrifugation before studying their phenotype. These viable neutrophils showed neoexpression of HLA-DR, CD80 and CD49d. Compared with freshly isolated neutrophils, they responded differentially to second signals similar to formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine with three- to four-fold increases in production of superoxide anions and leukotrienes. These cells augmented their phagocytic index by 141%, increased their adhesion to human primary fibroblasts, but reduced their migration in response to chemotactic stimuli and decreased exocytosis of primary and secondary granules. In addition, they produced substantial amounts of IL-8, IL-1Ra and IL-1b. This neutrophil subset had a unique profile of phosphorylation of intracellular signaling molecules. -

Trapped neutrophil syndrome (TNS) is an autosomal recessive inherited neutropenia known in Border Collies since the 1990’s. Recently, the causative mutation has been identified in the canine VPS13B gene and a DNA-based diagnosis has now become available. The present paper describes clinical and clinico-pathologic findings in a Border Collie with TNS that was molecularly diag- nosed for the first time in Japan. In a 10-week-old male Border Collie with microgenesis and symptoms related to recurrent infections, a hematological examination revealed severe leukopenia due to neutropenia, suggesting the dog to be affected by inherited neutro- penic immunodeficiency. Direct DNA sequencing demonstrated that the dog was homozygous for the causative mutation of TNS and both its parents were heterozygous carriers. In addition, a simple and rapid polymerase chain reaction-based length polymorphism analysis coupled with microchip electrophoresis was developed for the genotyping of TNS. This assay could discriminate clearly all genotypes, suggesting that it was suitable for both individual diagnosis and large-scale surveys for prevention. KEY WORDS: Border Collie dog, Cohen syndrome, neutropenia, trapped neutrophil syndrome.
