[Two breakthroughs in CGD studies].
نویسنده
چکیده
Studies in Chronic Granulomatous Disease showed two breakthroughs during this past decade. First, the discovery of 7 Nox/Duox family proteins, Noxo1 and Noxa1 (homologues of gp91(phox), p47(phox) and p67(phox)) may clarify novel physiological mechanisms for superoxide regulation in various organs, such as the regulation of blood pressure, mucosal defense system in respiratory/digestive tract and nephron. Secondly, the success in bone marrow transplantation and gene therapy for CGD should facilitate treatment for other genetic diseases as well.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a genetically heterogeneous syndrome characterized by a microbial killing defect of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) due to lack of superoxide O2-. 2 generation. Recent studies indicate that the neutrophil O2-.-generating system consists of at least two components, flavoprotein--flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)--and cytochrome b. We evaluate the cytoch...

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a group of inherited disorders in which phagocytic cells fail to generate antimicrobial oxidants. The various forms of CGD can be classified in terms of the mode of inheritance (either X-linked or autosomal recessive), and whether the neutrophils display the absorbance spectrum of a unique b-type cytochrome important for the function of the respiratory bur...
متن کاملInvasive aspergillosis in chronic granulomatous disease.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited disorder of the NADPH oxidase complex in which phagocytes are defective in generating superoxide anion and its metabolites. NADPH oxidase activation leads to activation of sequestered neutrophil proteases that mediate host defense. Invasive aspergillosis and other rarer mold diseases are the leading causes of mortality in CGD, reflecting the k...
متن کاملChronic granulomatous disease. Expression of the metabolic defect by in vitro culture of bone marrow progenitors.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), an often fatal syndrome of recurrent infections results from the inability of patients' peripheral blood phagocytic leukocytes to generate superoxide despite otherwise normal phagocytic functions such as ingestion and degranulation. Circulating granulocytes and monocytes are the progeny of bone marrow progenitor cells, colony-forming units in culture. We com...
متن کاملProtein phosphorylation in neutrophils from patients with p67-phox-deficient chronic granulomatous disease.
Neutrophils are known to contain a major 67-kD protein that undergoes enhanced phosphorylation and translocation to the membrane during cell stimulation. Recent studies have assumed that this 67-kD phosphoprotein is the 67-kD subunit of the phagocyte oxidase (p67-phox). We compare here the protein phosphorylation patterns in lysates of normal neutrophils and neutrophils from patients with chron...
