摘要: Apoptosis is well known to be mediated by oxidative stress. To evaluate the functional role of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) produced neutrophils, we compared rates apoptosis in neutrophils isolated from normal donors and patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a hereditary defect ROI production. Spontaneous cell death CGD vitro was significantly inhibited relative neutrophils. The acceleration induced anti-Fas monoclonal antibody (MoAb) much slower than that seen These findings suggest may endogenous products. This suggestion confirmed observation markedly reduction intracellular levels hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ). inhibition adding catalase occurred regardless presence MoAb. H2O2 increased both spontaneous Fas-mediated proportion Although several factors mediate remain determined, these results are major mediators involved signal transduction pathway.
