RESUMO

Rationale: Apoptosis is essential for removal of neutrophils from inflamed tissues and efficient resolution of inflammation. Myeloperoxidase (MPO), abundantly expressed in neutrophils, not only generates cytotoxic oxidants but also signals through the β2 integrin Mac-1 to rescue neutrophils from constitutive apoptosis, thereby prolonging inflammation.
