The possible role of the peripheral cannabinoid receptor (CB2) in neutrophil migration was
investigated by using human promyelocytic HL60 cells differentiated into neutrophil-like
cells and human neutrophils isolated from whole blood. Cell surface expression of CB2 on
HL60 cells, on neutrophil-like HL60 cells, and on human neutrophils was confirmed by flow
cytometry. Upon stimulation with either of the CB2 ligands JWH015 and 2-
arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), neutrophil-like HL60 cells rapidly extended and retracted one …
