Biol 520
• Automatic regulation system
• Branch of the Autonomic nervous system
• 2 sets of nerve bodies• Preganglionic in the CNS• Postganglionic, which
leads to effector organ• Active at basal level
– More active in times of stress
– Part of the fight-or-flight response
• Up regulates and down regulates homeostatic mechanisms

G protein-coupled Binds to
catecholamines Epinephrine Norepinephrine
Binds to endogenous ligands Found on many cells
including immune cells and bacterial cells
Subtypes alpha receptor Beta receptor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_receptor
Adrenal binds to the adrenergic receptor and associates with the G .protein. The G protein associates with adenylate cyclase to convert ATP to cAMP.
Released by the postganglionic neuron May be excitatory or inhibitory depending on
what gland or muscle it is acting on. Stimulates the heart Raises blood pressure Dilates pupils, trachea and bronchi Stimulates liver glycogen to glucose Decreases blood from skin and viscera to
skeletal muscles, brain and heart Inhibits movement in the GI tract Inhibits contraction of bladder and rectum

Immune Cell Function
B-cell Make Antibodies against antigens, role in APC
CD4+ T cell pre-defined role as a helper T cell
CD8+ T cell Mature cytotoxic T cell. Destroy infected host cells
Natural Killer (NK) cell Role in rejection of tumors and virus infected cell
Macrophage Phagocytose cellular debris and pathogens, stimulate other immune cells
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_cells
Effector T cells or Th cells Sub group of lymphocytes
Role in the immune system No cytotoxic or phagocytic activity
Cannot kill infected cells or pathogens Activate and direct other immune cells Mature Th cells express CD4.
Th1 Th2
Cell type Macrophage B-cell
Cytokines produced IFN-γ, TNF-α IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13
Immune stimulation promoted
Cellular immune systemIncreased killing efficacy of macrophages and proliferation of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells
Humoral immune systemStimulates B-cells to proliferate, Induce B-cell Ab class switching, increase Ab production

The sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in the innate response to bacterial infections. Release of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, recruit immune cells to induce the host inflammatory response.
In Support of the Hypothesis
Thermal injured mice are susceptible to infections
CCL2 (monocyte chemoattractant) is produced with in one day of trauma Leads to an up-regulation of type 2 T cell
response Study investigates NE on CCL2
production in mice after burn trauma.
6-OHDA was given to mice at 100mg/kg for 5 days, one time a day. Mice were then subjected to thermal injury. 3rd degree burns were applied to 15% of the mice body surface. NE was measured from the sera of the mice using HPLC.
PBMC and PM was prepared form normal mice and TI mice and treated with saline or 6-OHDA. The cells were culture without stimulation and the culture fluid was collected after 48 hours and assayed for CCL2 using ELISA.
Takahashi et al (2004)
PBMC’s taken from normal mice and stimulated with different concentrations of NE for 48 hr. Culture fluid assayed for CCL2 using an ELISA
Takahashi et al (2004)
Torres et al’s group studied the effects of norepinephrine, dopamine and dexamethasone on cellular activation and expression of cytokines and chemokines on human PBMC
Torres’ group found that NE and DA increase lymphocyte activation and augments Th1 and Th2 type cytokine production.
Blood was taken from healthy men and women, n=9. PBMC’s were collected and stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies. PBMC’s were cultured with NE (1x10-7 M). Cultures harvested after 18 hr of stimulation. Cells then stained with anti-surface markers and anti-cytokine mAbs and analyzed by flow cytometry.
Increase frequency of CD69 expressing lymphocytes in total lymp and CD4+ T cells
Decrease expression of CD62L in CD8+ T cells
Pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-γ increased by NE.
Pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α increased by NE.
IL-6 pro and anti- inflammatory cytokine is increased by NE.
NE increased immunomodulatroy cytokine, IL-10
Torres et al 2005
Goyart’s group found that NE modulates dendritic cells in animal models
Not fully understood in humans Studied the effects of NE on cytokine
response on an mixed human dendritic cell population
Cells taken from donor n=1, and seeded at 4x105 per well. Birbeck granule-containing dendritic cells (BG-DC) stimulated with LPS (11, 250U/750ul) with NE (10-6M), Yoh, ICI, Pro or Forsk. Three independent experiments. Assayed in triplicate using ELISA.
Alpha receptor antagoinst, yohimbine (Yoh)
Beta receptor antagonist ICI-118 (ICI) Propranolol (Pro)
Goyarts et al 2007
Showing Direct Effects of Norepinephrine on Bacteria
Authors found that NE caused upregulation of flagellar and chemotaxis genes.
Used motility assays to test motility of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (ST)
Blocking of the alpha – adrenergic receptor inhibits motility of ST.
Mutation if QseC sensor kinase leads to decrease in motility of ST.
ST grown o/n in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM )at 37°C. Strains diluted 1:50 in DMEM @ 37°C. At 7 hr, ST pelleted and re-suspended in equal vol. of DMEM. 1μl of ST spotted on DMEM @ 37°C for 16-18hr. NE added at 50μM. Phentolamine added at 200μM. Cultures grown and assayed at 37°C.

NE was found to increase adherence of E. coli to the mice intestinal mucosa.
Chen’s group found that NE promoted adherence of non-O157H:7 and E. coli O157:H7
Chen et al (2006)
Dot Plot. Tissue taken from Yorkshire-Landrace pigs, 6-10 weeks old. Pigs anesthetized with Telazol. Midline laparotomy to expose intestine. Explants obtained from pigs and placed in ice-cold oxygenated physiological tissue preservation solution. Bacteria added for 90 min to tissue. Tissue was then weighed and washed with PBS to remove free bacteria. Tissue homogenized and plated on Fluorocult E. coli O157:H7 agar. Plates incubated at 37°C for 24h, colonies were then counted. Unfilled circles represent untreated. Filled circles represent tissue exposed to 10 μM NE . NE – norepinephrine,
CM – porcine cecum, PC – proximal colon, SC – spiral colon, DC – distal colon.
It is known from previous findings that NE augments E. coli O157:H7.
In Vlisidou et al paper, NE promotes adherence of E. coli on intestinal mucosa.
Vlisidou et al 2004
Confocal laser scanning micrograph. Bovine mid-ileal mucosa inoculated with E. coli O157:H7. Four separate experiments, bull calf subjected to fasting for 12h, anesthetized with Thiovet and intubated during the experiment. Laparotomy preformed, mid ileum flushed with saline, 6 cm loops ligated with surgical silk. E. coli grown to stationary phase in LB broth at 37°C for 16 h. Bacterial cultures supplemented with NE at a conc. of 50 μM or 5 μM and injected into loops. Tissue was fixed ante mortem and stained for E. coli (red) and F-actin (green).

Use a intestinal epithelial human cell line Test with E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella
Use various concentrations of Norepinephrine 10 μM , 50 μM and 100μM
Measure the amount of E. coli and ST that adhere
Use qRT-PCR to measure genes up-regulated by cells when infected with E. coli and ST.
Norepinephrine increases lymphocyte activation Increase in pro-inflammatory and anti-
inflammatory cytokines. In the presence of LPS, NE decreases IL-23
and IL-12 p40 in dendritic cells. Therefore does not promote stimulation of
memory T cells and naïve T cells. NE enhances the motility of E. coli an S.
Typhimurim through Qsec sensor kinase E. coli and ST take advantage NE to increase its
survival
According to the data I found, these results refute my hypothesis.
NE promotes the adherence of E. coli and the motility of Salmonella.
Not enough evidence supporting that NE promotes the recruitment of my immune cells.
