Neutrophil Superoxide Anion Production
Superoxide and other oxygen radicals produced by activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) may be important causes of tissue damage in a number ofinflammatory conditions. Therefore, a drug which suppresses PMN responses in vivo is potentially important. In vitro, pentoxifylline (PTOX) inhibits superoxide anion production when PMN are stimulated with an activated complement component (C5a Des...
متن کاملEffects of PDE4 inhibitors on lipopolysaccharide-induced priming of superoxide anion production from human mononuclear cells.
AIMS Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors have been described as potent anti-inflammatory compounds, involving an increase in intracellular levels of cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (AMP). The aim of this study was to compare the effects of selective PDE4 inhibitors, rolipram and RP 73-401 with the cell permeable analogue of cyclic AMP, dibutyryl-cyclic AMP (db-cAMP) and the anti-inflamma...
متن کاملProtease priming of neutrophil superoxide production. Effects on membrane lipid order and lateral mobility.
Phagocyte superoxide (O2-) response is primed by a variety of physiologic compounds including the neutrophil secretory proteases cathepsin G and elastase. To study whether protease priming of neutrophil O2- response is related to changes in membrane physical state, we examined enzyme effects on the order and lateral mobility of lipid probes in intact neutrophil membranes. Exposure to cathepsin ...
متن کاملHypercholesterolemia increases endothelial superoxide anion production.
Indirect evidence suggests accelerated degradation of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (ENDO) by superoxide anion (O2-) in hypercholesterolemic vessels (HV). To directly measure O2- production by normal vessels (NV) and HV, we used an assay for O2- based on the chemiluminescence (CL) of lucigenin (L). HV (1 mo cholesterol-fed rabbits) produced threefold more O2- than NV (1.47 +/- 0.20 nM/mg tis...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a) induces glomerular superoxide anion production.
BACKGROUND Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is considered to accelerate glomerular injury in various forms of renal disease. Several tissue culture studies suggested that biological effects of Lp(a) are inhibitable by oxygen radical scavengers. Since reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) are important mediators of renal disease, we studied the effects of native and oxidized Lp(a) on generation of the ROM sup...
