    AbstractCarbamylation is a post-translational modification of proteins characterized by the binding of cyanate to amino groups, increased in renal failure. Pathophysiological consequences of carbamylation and adverse effects of carbamylated proteins on cell functions are poorly understood. We studied the influence of carbamylated albumin on polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) O2- production. Carbamylated albumin significantly decreased O2- production in PMNs stimulated by type I collagen, but not by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or tumor necrosis factor-α. This effect was related to inhibition of p125FAK phosphorylation. Such an alteration of neutrophil oxidative functions might explain characteristic complications of renal failure, such as increased occurrence of inflammation or infections
