DNase and cystic fibrosis
In the 1950s research established that purulent lung secretion from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) contained large amounts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (Chernick & Guilio, 1959; Potter et al, 1960; Shak et al, 1990). These high levels of extra cellular DNA are released from degenerating neutrophils (white cells) and accumulate within the airways in response to either chronic infection or ...
متن کاملDNase trials in cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease with a high morbidity and mortality from pulmonary disease. Sputum from CF patients contains high levels of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contribute to its viscoelasticity. Recombinant deoxyribonuclease (rhDNase) has been developed and in vitro studies have showed reduction in the viscoelasticity of CF sputum. This article reviews the in vivo clinical tria...
متن کاملDNase and atelectasis in non-cystic fibrosis pediatric patients
INTRODUCTION No evidence based treatment is available for atelectasis. We aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiologic changes in pediatric patients who received DNase for persistent atelectasis that could not be attributed to cardiovascular causes, and who were unresponsive to treatment with inhaled bronchodilators and physiotherapy. METHODS All non-cystic fibrosis pediatric patients who re...
متن کاملCell‐Free DNA and DNase Activity in Dogs with Immune‐Mediated Hemolytic Anemia
BACKGROUND Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) in dogs has a high risk of thrombosis and is associated with marked neutrophilia and necrosis. Cell death and release of neutrophil extracellular traps contribute to increased serum concentrations of cell-free DNA, and in human autoimmune disease reduced DNase activity further increases cell-free DNA. Free DNA in blood has prothrombotic propert...
متن کاملIn vivo effects of recombinant human DNase I on sputum in patients with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Viscoelastic secretions in cystic fibrosis cause impaired mucus clearance and persistence of bacteria within the lung. The abnormal rheology is partly due to the presence of high molecular weight deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Recombinant human DNase I (rhDNase) has been shown to depolymerise DNA and thereby reduce the in vitro viscoelasticity of sputum in patients with cystic fibrosis...
