Abstract
In opsonized zymosan activated PMN leukocytes, N-ethylamleiamide and $Hg^{++}$, penetrable sulfhydryl group inhibitors, inhibited superoxide generation, NADPH oxidase activity and lysosomal enzyme (lactic dehydrogenase and ${\beta}-glucuronidase$) secretion. P-Chloromercuribenzoic acid and p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid, surface sulfhydryl group inhibitors did not affect superoxide generation but effectively inhibited both NADPH oxidase activity and lysosomal enzyme secretion. During phagocytosis, contents of surface and soluble sulfhydryl groups were gradually decreased with increasing incubation times. N-ethylmaleiamide and $Hg^{++}$ caused a loss of both surface and soluble sulfhydryl groups. P-Chloromercuribenzoic acid and p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid significantly decreased the surface sulfhydryl content but did not after soluble sulfhydryl groups. Cysteine and mercaptopropionylglycine inhibited superoxide generation and lysosomal enzyme secretion. Glutathione had no effect on superoxide generation but remarkably inhibited lactic dehydrogenase release. Suppression of superoxide generation by N-ethylmaleiamide was reversed by cysteine and mercaptopropionyl-glycine but not by glutathione. Inactivation of NADPH oxidase by N-ethylmaleiamide was prevented by glutathione, cysteine or mercaptopropionylglycine. Stimulated superoxide generaion by carbachol was completely abolished by N-ethylrnaleiamide and antagonized by atropine. Thus, the expression of PMN leukocyte response to external stimuli may be associated with the change of sulfhydryl groups content. It is suggested that lysosomal enzyme secretion is influenced by both surface and soluble sulfhydryl groups, whereas superoxide generation by intracellular soluble sulfhydryl groups.
면역 보체가 결합되어 있는 zymosan에 의하여 활성화된 다형핵 백혈구에서 세포 투과성 물질인 N-ethylmaleiamide과 $Hg^{++}$은 superoxide 라디칼 생성, NADPH oxidase 활성도 및 lysosomal enzyme (lactic dehydrogenase, ${\beta}-glucuronidase$)의 유리를 억제하였다. 세포막 단백에 특이적인 p-chloromercuribenzoic acid와 p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid는 superoxide 라디칼 생성에 영향을 주지 않았으나 NADPH oxidase 활성도와 lysosomal enzyme의 유리를 억제하였다. 식작용 중에 세포막과 세포내의 sulfhydryl기는 반응시간에 따라 점진적으로 감소하였다. N-ethylmaleiamide와 $Hg^{++}$은 세포막과 세포내의 sulfhydryl기를 모두 감소시켰다. P-Chloromercuribenzoic acid와 p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid는 세포막의 sulfhydryl기를 유의하게 감소시켰으나 세포내 용해성 sulfhydryl기에는 영향을 주지않았다. Cysteine과 mercaptopropionylglycine는 superoxide 라디칼의 생성과 lysosomal enzyme의 유리를 억제하였다. Gluthathione은 superoxide생성에 영향을 주지 않았으나 뚜렷하게 lactic dehydrogenase의 유리를 억제하였다. N-ethylmaleiamide에 의한 superoxide 생성의 억제는 cysteine과 mercaptopropionyl-glycine에 의하여 반전되었으나 gluthathione의 영향은 없었다. N-ethylamleiamide에 의한 NADPH oxidase의 비활성화는 gluthathione, cysteine과 mercaptopropionylglycine에 의하여 저해되었다. Carbachol에 의하여 항진된 superoxide 라디칼 생성은 N-ethylamleiamide에 의하여 완전히 억제되었고, atropine에 의하여 길항되었다. 그러므로, 외부 자극에 대한 다형핵 백혈구 반응의 표현은 sulfhydryl기의 양의 변화와 연관이 있을 것으로 시사되었다. Lysosomal enzyme 유리는 세포막과 세포내의 sulfhydryl기에 의하여, 이에 반하여 superoxide생성은 세포내 sulfhydryl기에 의해서 영향받을 것으로 추정되었다.
