Effect of estrogens on the myeloperoxidase-mediated antimicrobial system.
نویسنده
چکیده
Estradiol 17 beta prevented the fall in the microbicidal activity of the myeloperoxidase-H2O2-halide system induced by high H2O2 concentrations. In contrast, when the H2O2 (and halide) concentrations were low the myeloperoxidase-H2O2-halide antimicrobial system was inhibited by estradiol. These properties of estradiol 17 beta were shared by estradiol 17 alpha, estrone, estriol, ethinyl estradiol, and phenol, but not by estradiol-3-benzoate, testosterone, progesterone, hydroxyprogesterone, cortisone, hydrocortisone, or deoxycorticosterone.

Role of the superoxide anion in the myeloperoxidase-mediated antimicrobial system.
An antimicrobial system has been previously described in the polymorphonuclear leukocyte which consists of myeloperoxidase, H202, and a halide. In the present study, H202 is replaced by xanthine and xanthine oxidase in the isolated myeloperoxidase-mediated antimicrobial system and the contribution of the superoxide anion (02T) and hydroxyl radicals (*OH) to the antimicrobial effect investigated...
متن کاملAntioxidant Effects of Vitamins C and E on the Low-Density Lipoprotein Oxidation Mediated by Myeloperoxidase
Background: Oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) appears to be an early step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Meanwhile, myeloperoxidase (MPO)-catalyzed reaction is one of the potent pathway for LDL oxidation in vivo. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro antioxidant effects of vitamins C and E on LDL oxidation mediated by MPO. Methods: MPO was isolated from f...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase--H2O2--halide system: cytotoxic effect on human blood leukocytes.
Myeloperoxidase, H2O2, and a halide form a potent antimicrobial and cytotoxic system of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte. A cytotoxic effect of this system on human blood leukocytes is demonstrated, employing 51Cr release and dye exclusion assays. Cytotoxicity is dependent on enzymatically active myeloperoxidase, H2O2, or a peroxide-generating enzyme system and either chloride or iodide. Cell da...
متن کاملRedundant contribution of myeloperoxidase-dependent systems to neutrophil-mediated killing of Escherichia coli.
Neutrophil microbicidal activity is a consequence of overlapping antimicrobial systems that vary in prominence according to the conditions of the neutrophil-microbe interaction, the nature of the microbe, and its metabolic state. In this study, normal, myeloperoxidase-deficient, and respiratory burst-deficient (chronic granulomatous disease [CGD]) neutrophils killed Escherichia coli with equiva...
