This study was undertaken to measure the activity of myeloperoxidase and leukocyte peroxidase of hen. 70 hens were decapitated to observe the activity of enzymes according to ages. The activity of peroxidase by the Lowry's method with bovine serum albumin as standard. Gel filtration chromatography was carried out of sephacryl S-300 column. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The mean of specific activity of myeloperoxidase and leukocyte peroxidase was 16.80(units/mg) and 15(units/mg), respectively. 2. The specific activity of myeloperoxidase in 35 days hen was significantly increased and showed almost the same level of activity to 350 days hen. 3. The specific activity of leukocyte peroxidase in 35 days hen was significantly increased and showed a little increased tendency from 210 days to 350 days hen. 4. On the sephacryl S-300 column chromatography, two separated peaks of myeloperoxidase activity were observed. The molecular weights of myeloperoxidase were 57,000 dalton and 13,700 dalton.

심장수술에 따른 백혈구의 활성화는 여러 염증성 물질을 생성시켜 수술 후 병태생리에 깊이 관여한다. 본 연구는 심장수술 동안 백혈구의 과립성분인 myeloperoxidase의 농도 변화와 심장 및 폐에 대한 영향을 규명하기 위해 시행되었다. 심장수술 전후로 말초혈액 총 백혈구 수 및 분획세포 수와 관상정맥 혈액의 myeloperoxidase 농도 (MPO) 및 troponin-T 농도 (TnT), 그리고 폐혈관 저항을 측정하였다. 수술 직후, 호중구 수의 상승에 기인한 총 백혈구 수의 증가가 있었고 (p＜0.01), MPO 및 TnT 역시 증가하였으나 (p＜0.05), 폐혈관 저항은 감소하였다(p＜0.05). 수술 후, MPO는 TnT, 총 백혈구 수, 호중구 수, 그리고 심장수술 소요시간과 각각 양의 상관관계가 있었다(p＜0.05). 수술 후 폐혈관 저항은 총 백혈구 수 및 호중구 수와 각각 음의 상관성이 있었다(p<0.05). 본 연구의 결과들은 심장수술이 호중구로 부터 MPO 분비를 증가시키며, 유리된 MPO는 폐보다는 심장에 유해한 효과를 미칠 수 있고 호중구의 또 다른 기전이 수술 후 폐 손상에 관여할 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis that predominantly affects small vessels of the body. The two most common ANCAs are myeloperoxidase ANCA and proteinase 3 ANCA. Neurological manifestations are frequent in patients with AAV, including peripheral neuropathy, meningitis, and stroke. AAV-associated ischemic stroke usually affects small vessels supplying the white matter or brainstem. This case report details the presentation and treatment course of a 70-year-old man with rapidly progressive multiple intracranial large artery involvement attributed to myeloperoxidase ANCA-associated vasculitis. Despite treatment with high-dose steroids and a rituximab infusion, the patient developed new speech difficulties and respiratory distress, and brain imaging confirmed new stroke lesions with progressive multiple intracranial large cerebral artery involvement. The patient died from SARS-CoV-2 infection 4 months after the diagnosis. This case emphasized the rare presentation of rapidly progressive large vessel involvement in a patient with myeloperoxidase ANCA-associated vasculitis despite active immunotherapy.

삼환계 항우울제들은 calmodulin 억제 작용을 갖고 있으며, 칼슘 유입, 산화성 인산화 반응 및 ATPase 활성도를 억제하는 것으로 제시되고 있지만 사람 호중구에서의 기능 표현에 대한 효과는 밝혀져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine이 superoxide와 $H_2O_2$ 생성, myeloperoxidase 유리, leukotriene $B_4$ 생성과 세포내 칼슘의 상승에 나타나는 효과를 조사하였다. 변성된 IgG에 의하여 활성화된 호중구에서 superoxide와 $H_2O_2$ 생성은 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine에 의하여 억제되었고 EDTA, EGTA, verapamil과 bepredil은 superoxide 생성을 억제하였다. Chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine, staurosporine 및 H-7 또한 superoxide 생성을 억제하였다. PMA에 의한 superoxide 생성은 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine, chlorpromazine과 H-7에 의하여 억제되었다. Amitriptyline, imipramine, chlorpromazine과 trifluoperazine은 변성된 IgG에 의한 myeloperoxidase 유리를 억제하였다. 변성된 IgG에 의하여 활성화된 호중구에서 $LTB_4$와 5-HETE 형성은 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine에 의하여 억제되었다. 변성된 IgG에 의한 세포내 칼슘의 증가는 amitriptyline, imipramine, doxepine, chlorpromazine과 EGTA에 의하여 억제되었고, verapamil은 세포내 칼슘의 증가를 약간 억제하였으나 H-7은 세포내 칼슘의 증가에 영향이 없었다. 이상의 결과로부터 변성된 IgG에 의하여 활성화된 호중구에서의 respiratory burst, myeloperoxidase 유리와 LTB, 생성에 대한 amitriptyline, imipramine과 doxepine의 억제효과는 칼슘동원, calmodulin과 protein kinase C의 억제에 기인할 것으로 추정된다.

This study aimed to determine the association of maternal oxidative stress and adverse pregnancy outcome with serum vitamin C concentration and a myeloperoxidase (MPO) genetic polymorphism during pregnancy. We investigated 450 pregnant women who visited Ewha Womans University Hospital for prenatal care during gestational weeks 24～28. During the second trimester, we measured serum vitamin C levels and urinary 8-hydroxyde-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and malondialdehyde (MDA) as an oxidative stress biomarker. We determined the presence of a maternal MPO polymorphism (G-to-A substitution at nucleotide 463) using a PCR-RFLP assay. We compared the level of oxidative stress and birth weight with the vitamin C concentration and the presence of the MPO polymorphism. The mean level of maternal oxidative stress tended to be higher and the birth weight lower for MPO type A/A than for types A/G and G/G. Vitamin C levels above the 75 percentiles were associated with reduced concentrations of urinary MDA and 8-OHdG but increased birth weight. Our data demonstrate that oxidative stress and neonatal birth weight are associated with the MPO genetic polymorphism, with the association modified by the maternal vita-min C levels.

The underlying mechanism by which the reflux of gastric juice elicits oesophagitis remaind unclear. To investigate inflammatory response to HCI in tissue of esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter experimental esophagitis was elicited by perfusion of 0.1 N HCI in cats. There was no difference in phospholipase $A_2$ (PLA$_2$) activity of tissue between control and esophagitis. Myeloperoxidase activity in esophagitis was significantly greater than that of control. However histamine content in esophageal mucosa of esophagitis was significantly smaller than that of control. These finding suggest that inflammatory response to HCI in esophagitis is related to changes of myeloperoxidase activity and histamine rather than change of PLA$_2$ activity.

This investigation was undertaken to determine the relationship between the amount of polymorphonuclear leukocyte(PMN) enzyme myeloperoxidase(MPO) in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) collected from active or control site and gingival disease status described by clinical indices(gingival index, papillary bleeding index, pocket depth, periotron unit). The results were as follows : 1. MPO activity/site was greater at active sites than at control sites. 2. According to increasing the clinical parameters, MPO/sites was higher statistically (P<0. 01, P<0.05). 3. High MPO(unit/site) groups was higher statistically than low MPO(unit/site) groups in various clinical parameters. 4. Correlation coefficients between MPO(unit/site) and GI, MPO($unit/{\mu}l$ GCF) and periotron unit were 0.4782, -0.5901, respectively.

C5a 또는 PMA에 의하여 활성화된 호중구에서의 superoxide와 HOCl 생성에 나타내는 staurosporine, genistein과 pertussis toxin의 효과를 관찰하였다. C5a에 의한 superoxide과 $H_2O_2$의 생성은 staurosporine, genistein과 pertussis toxin에 의하여 억제되었다. PMA의 자극효과는 staurosporine에 의하여 억제되었으나 pertussis toxin에 의하여 영향을 받지 않았으며, 한편 이는 genistein에 의하여 더 촉진되었다. Staurosporine, genistein은 sodium fluoride에 의한 superoxide 생성을 억제 하였으나 pertussis toxin은 영향을 나타내지 않았다. PMA에 의한 $H_2O_2$의 생성은 staurosporine에 의하여 억제되었으나 pertussis toxin은 영향을 나타내지 않았다. Genistein은 PMA에 의한 $H_2O_2$의 생성에 자극효과를 나타내지 않았다. Staurosporine과 pertussis toxin은 C5a 또는 PMA에 의한 HOCl 생성을 억제하였으나, 이에 반하여 genistein은 자극하였다. C5a와 PMA에 의한 myeloperoxidase 유리는 genistein에 의하여 억제되었나, pertussis toxin의 효과는 나타나지 않았다. Staurosporine은 유리에 대한 PMA의 자극효과에 영향을 주지 않았다. Myeloperoxidase 활성은 genistein에 의하여 현저하게 증가되었으나 staurosporine과 pertussis toxin의 영향은 받지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 호중구의 respiratory burst가 protein kinase C와 protein tyrosine kinase에 의하여 조절된다고 제시한다. Protein kinase C의 직접적인 자극에 따른 superoxide 생성은 protein tyrosine kinase의 영향을 역으로 받을 것으로 추정된다. Genistein은 아마도 myeloperoxidase를 활성화하여 HOCl 생성을 촉진할 것으로 시사된다.

A label-free amperometric immunosensor has been proposed for the detection of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in human serum. To fabricate such an immunosensor, a composite film consisting of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ($EMIMBF_4$) suspension was initially formed on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Then cerium dioxide ($CeO_2$) dispersed by chitosan was coated on the GCE. After that, MPO antibodies (anti-MPO) were attached onto the nano$CeO_2$ surface. With a noncompetitive immunoassay format, the antibody-antigen complex formed between the immobilized anti-MPO and MPO in sample solution. The immunosensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The factors influencing the performance of the immunosensor were studied in detail. Under optimal conditions, the current change before and after the immunoreaction was proportional to MPO concentration in the range of 5 to $300\;ng\;mL^{-1}$ with a detection limit of $0.2\;ng\;mL^{-1}$.
