Objective: To compare the biological action of R form and S form LPS in human peripheral blood neutrophils and monocytes. Methods: Cell surface receptors modulation, ROS and NO production were evaluated on monocytes and neutrophils in whole blood, and NF-êB activation was evaluated in isolated neutrophils by flow cytometry after incubation with R and S-LPS. Results: A small enhancement of TLR4 expression was observed on monocytes with 6 h stimulation whereas no modulation of TLR2 was seen on either cell. Modulation of CD14 on monocytes was biphasic, with initial increment in the first hour followed by decreased expression at 6 h. Both LPS increased CD66b expression on neutrophils. Expression of CD11b was rapidly up-regulated on monocytes and neutrophils by both LPS, while down regulation of CXCR2 expression on neutrophils was observed after a few minutes, lasting for 6 h. S-LPS effect on neutrophils expression of CD11b, CD66b and CXCR2 receptors was a little earlier than the R-LPS effect. Both LPS induced low production of ROS and NO compared to other stimuli, as well as NF-êB translocation. Conclusions: A complex LPS-induced cell surface receptors modulation was seen on monocytes and neutrophils in human blood, with up and down regulation depending on the receptors evaluated. R for and S form LPS have similarly activated human neutrophils, despite the low expression of CD14 in those cells. While the presence of LBP and of sCD14 could provide the requirements for S-form LPS induction of neutrophils activity in whole blood, other receptors are also likely to be involved in LPS cell signaling in neutrophils.
