Superoxide dismutase activity in leukocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Superoxide dismutase activity has been identified in both human neutrophils and rabbit alveolar macrophages by two distinct assay procedures. The enzyme is insensitive to both cyanide and azide and is present in the cytosol of the cell. The identification of this enzyme in phagocytic cells is compatible with the theory that superoxide anion might be involved in the bactericidal activity of the cell. It is proposed that the enzyme functions to protect the cell against superoxide generated during the phagocytic process.

Free radicals and inflammation. Protection of phagocytosine leukocytes by superoxide dismutase.
Isolated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes engaged in phagocytosis liberate superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide into the surrounding medium. These two chemical species react to produce the hydroxyl radical, which attacks the leukocyte and leads to premature death of the cell. The hydroxyl radical may be scavenged by mannitol, or its formation can be prevented by the addition of superoxide...
متن کاملRole of superoxide dismutase in resistance of Porphyromonas gingivalis to killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Porphyromonas gingivalis in which the synthesis of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was induced by nitrate or by aeration was rendered resistant to killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. SOD purified from either anaerobically maintained or aerated cells also inhibited bacterial killing when added exogenously, and no difference between the effects of the two SODs was observed. These results suggest ...
متن کاملChemiluminescence and superoxide production by myeloperoxidase-deficient leukocytes.
The role of superoxide anion- and myeloperoxidase-dependent reactions in the light emission by phagocytosing polymorphonuclear leukocytes has been investigated using leukocytes that lack myeloperoxidase, inhibitors (azide, superoxide dismutase), and model systems. Our earlier finding that oxygen consumption, glucose C-1 oxidation, and formate oxidation are greater in polymorphonuclear leukocyte...
متن کاملAttenuation of ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity and adenosine release in activated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
To examine whether activation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes attenuates release of adenosine through attenuation of their own ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity, human polymorphonuclear leukocytes were incubated with and without exposure to either N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) or complement C5a. Ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was attenuated by both FM...
متن کاملThe Effect of Normobaric Hyperoxia on Superoxide Dismutase Activity and Neurologic Deficits in Huntington Animal Model
Introduction: resent studies have been shown that normobaric hyperoxia (HO) can induce excitotoxicity and stress oxidative tolerance (ETT) in variety of organs such as brain. In this study, we examined the intermittent dose of normobaric hyperoxia (HO) on neurologic deficit, and superoxide dismutase activity in brain tissue of Huntington animal model. Method: The rats were divided to three...
