Post-translational tyrosine nitration of eosinophil granule toxins mediated by eosinophil peroxidase.
Nitration of tyrosine residues has been observed during various acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanism of tyrosine nitration and the nature of the proteins that become tyrosine nitrated during inflammation remain unclear. Here we show that eosinophils but not other cell types including neutrophils contain nitrotyrosine-positive proteins in specific granules. Furthermore...
متن کاملAugmentation of spontaneous macrophage-mediated cytolysis by eosinophil peroxidase
Eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), a cationic protein purified from horse blood, adhered to four different types of tumor cells, markedly potentiating their lysis by preformed or enzymatically generated H(2)0(2) (up to 76-fold, as assayed in serum-containing tissue culture medium without supplemental halide). Similarly, compared with uncoated tumor cells, EPO-coated tumor cells were up to 32 times mo...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis of experimental ulcerative colitis is mediated by eosinophil peroxidase.
The precise role that individual inflammatory cells and mediators play in the development of gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction and extraintestinal clinical manifestations of ulcerative colitis (UC) is unknown. In this study, we have used a mouse model of UC to establish a central role for eotaxin and, in turn, eosinophils in the development of the immunopathogenesis of this disease. In this mod...
متن کاملActivation of platelets by eosinophil granule proteins
Two of the four principal cationic proteins of the eosinophil granule, major basic protein (MBP) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), were shown to be platelet agonists. Both MBP and EPO evoked a dose-dependent nonlytic secretion of platelet 5-hydroxytryptamine in unstirred platelet suspensions even in the presence of 10 microM indomethacin. MBP also evoked secretion of platelet alpha granule and l...
متن کاملEosinophil Secretion of Granule-Derived Cytokines
Eosinophils are tissue-dwelling leukocytes, present in the thymus, and gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts of healthy individuals at baseline, and recruited, often in large numbers, to allergic inflammatory foci and sites of active tissue repair. The biological significance of eosinophils is vast and varied. In health, eosinophils support uterine and mammary gland development, and maintai...
