Myeloperoxidase delays neutrophil apoptosis through CD11b/CD18 integrins and prolongs inflammation.
Polymorphonuclear neutrophil granulocytes have a central role in innate immunity and their programmed cell death and removal are critical for efficient resolution of acute inflammation. Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a heme protein abundantly expressed in neutrophils, is generally associated with killing of bacteria and oxidative tissue injury. Because MPO also binds to neutrophils, we investigated whe...
متن کاملCarbon nanotubes degraded by neutrophil myeloperoxidase induce less pulmonary inflammation.
We have shown previously that single-walled carbon nanotubes can be catalytically biodegraded over several weeks by the plant-derived enzyme, horseradish peroxidase. However, whether peroxidase intermediates generated inside human cells or biofluids are involved in the biodegradation of carbon nanotubes has not been explored. Here, we show that hypochlorite and reactive radical intermediates of...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase (MPO) gene mutation in hereditary MPO deficiency.
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), present in the azurophilic granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, is a myeloid enzyme whose synthesis is restricted to promyelocytes. Complete hereditary MPO deficiency affects 1 in 2,000 to 4,000 individuals; however, the genetic cause of this defect is unclear. We have determined the molecular basis of MPO deficiency in one individual (SQ). Granulocytes of SQ had no ...
متن کاملA case of myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis and concurrent membranous nephropathy
BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis (MPO-ANCA-GN) and concurrent membranous nephropathy (MN) are very rare combination. Their causal relationship has been suggested, but not determined. CASE PRESENTATION A 73-years-old male with 5-year history of proteinuria underwent an operation for his sigmoid colon cancer. Seven months later, he wa...
متن کاملAzathioprine-induced interstitial nephritis in an anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) myeloperoxidase (MPO) vasculitis patient
Azathioprine (AZA) is used in a wide array of autoimmune diseases, still corresponding to the mainstay maintenance therapy in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides. Although generally well-tolerated, several side effects are recognized. We report the case of a 50-yearold Caucasian man with kidney-limited ANCA myeloperoxidase (MPO) vasculitis who presented with gene...
