Myeloperoxidase (MPO) -463G->A reduces MPO activity and DNA adduct levels in bronchoalveolar lavages of smokers.
The myeloperoxidase (MPO) -463G-->A genetic polymorphism is associated with a reduced risk for lung cancer, but the underlying mechanism is not yet elucidated. Therefore, the impact of this polymorphism on MPO activity and lipophilic DNA adducts was studied in respectively bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and cells, from 106 smoking Caucasian lung patients. MPO activity was determined spectro...
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 کاملMyeloperoxidase-dependent oxidation of etoposide in human myeloid progenitor CD34+ cells.
Etoposide is a widely used anticancer drug successfully used for the treatment of many types of cancer in children and adults. Its use, however, is associated with an increased risk of development of secondary acute myelogenous leukemia involving the mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) gene (11q23) translocations. Previous studies demonstrated that the phenoxyl radical of etoposide can be produced by ...
متن کاملDistinct effects of royal jelly on human endothelial cells under high glucose condition
To assess different effects of royal Jelly in protecting the human endothelial cells from high glucose level, human umbilical vein endothelial cells were exposed to various concentrations of royal jelly, from 0.625 to 10 mg/ml, at the presence of 5 and 30 mM glucose contents over a course of 72 h. In addition to cell viability assessment by conventional MTT assay, we also analyzed the feature o...
