RESUMO
When polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and soluble or particulate matter interact, the cells produce chemiluminescence, linked to activation of the oxidative metabolism of the cells. PMNL isolated from a patient with a myeloperoxidase deficiency were found to produce almost no luminol-dependent chemiluminescence, despite a pronounced production of superoxide anions (O2-). The chemotactic peptide formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine induced a two-peak chemiluminescence response in control PMNL. The response was modified, both in magnitude and in time-course, when the cells were incubated at 22 degrees C for 120 min. Addition of purified myeloperoxidase to the PMNL lacking this enzyme, before stimulus addition, resulted in a chemiluminescence response. In the response to formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, only one peak, corresponding to the initial peak of control PMNL, was found. This indicated that luminol-dependent chemiluminescence is dependent on and directly related to the presence of myeloperoxidase in PMNL and that both intra- and extracellularly located myeloperoxidase has to be taken into account when interpreting the cellular response assayed as chemiluminescence.
