The transition of neutrophils from a resting state to a primed state is an
essential requirement for their function as competent immune cells. This
transition can be caused not only by chemical signals but also by mechanical
perturbation. After cessation of either, these cells gradually revert to a
quiescent state over 40 to 120 min. We use two biophysical tools, an optical
stretcher and a novel microcirculation mimetic, to effect physiologically
relevant mechanical deformations of single nonadherent human neutrophils. We
establish quantitative morphological analysis and mechanical phenotyping as
label-free markers of neutrophil priming. We show that continued mechanical
deformation of primed cells can cause active depolarization, which occurs two
orders of magnitude faster than by spontaneous depriming. This work provides a
cellular-level mechanism that potentially explains recent clinical studies
demonstrating the potential importance, and physiological role, of neutrophil
depriming in vivo and the pathophysiological implications when this deactivation
is impaired, especially in disorders such as acute lung injury.
