Cell volume regulatory mechanisms participate in different activities of cells including neutrophils migration and ROS generation [1, 2]. The effect of HOCl on the random migration of human neutrophils was studied.
Isolated neutrophils (untreated and HOCl-treated) were placed on glass for 20 min and fixed. The volume (V) and projection area (S) were calculated for single control (n = 130) and treated cells (n = 160) using atomic-force microscopy.
Because neutrophils movement consists of repeated cycles including the formation of lamellipodium during cell spreading and a cell retraction, we have identified three cell groups according to its area: 1) S < 75 |m2, inactive cells and hemispherical retractile cells; 2) S from 75 to 150 |im2, cells with growing lamellipodium; 3) S > 150 |im2, fully spreading cells.
The average V of control cells in group 2 increased by 30% as compared to group 1 cells and the values of cell volume varied around a constant mean of 149 |im3 (from 98 to 225 |im3). As volume changes associated with lamellipodium growth, as individual size differences of neutrophils may cause this volume fluctuation. With a further area rise above 150 |m2 the variability of volume
values became very low (average V 155 |m3, max V 220 |im3). The rapid increasing of cell area led to marked S/V ratio changes. It varied from 0.4 to 1.8.
The average V of exposed to HOCl cells from group 1 was less than control value (96 |im3). With cell spreading it increased initially by 57%. A slow gradual increase of cell volume was observed for the entire further area growth from 75 |im2 to the maximum. As a result the average V of treated cells reached to control value (group 2) and then overpassed (165 |im3, group 3). The fluctuation of volume values was greater and persisted in group 3. Because cell area dynamics was similar to the control, the average ratio S/V of treated cells was lower. Thus, HOCl alters cell volume regulation of random migrating human neutrophils.
