Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of cannabinoid receptors (CBs) on migration of human neutrophil-like cell line dHL60. Methods HL60 cell was cultivated in vitro and stimulated by dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) to differentiate into neutrophil-like cells (dHL60), RT-PCR was used to detect the CD11b mRNA expression as a differentiation marker. Western blotting and agarose gel electrophoresis were used to detect the expression of CB1 and CB2. Boyden chamber was used for cell migration assay. Filamentous actin (F-actin) stained with phalloidin was examined by high content analysis. Results In this study, we present evidence that dHL60 significantly expressed CB1 and CB2; the treatment of ACEA (agonist of CB1) caused an increase in dHL60 migration and F-actin remodeling, the pharmacological inhibition of CB1 markedly attenuated ACEA-induced migration; the treatment of JWH133 (agonist of CB2) has no effect on migration and F-actin remodeling. Conclusion CB1 mediated the migration of human neutrophil-like cell line dHL60.

Key words: cannabinoid receptors(CBs), human neutrophil-like cell, cell migration
