Estradiol binds covalently to normal leukocytes during phagocytosis. The binding involves three cell types, neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes and at least two reaction mechanisms, one involving the peroxidase of neutrophils and monocytes (myeloperoxidase [MPO]) and possibly the eosinophil peroxidase, and the second involving catalase. Binding is markedly reduced when leukocytes from patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), severe leukocytic glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and familial lipochrome histiocytosis are employed and two populations of neutrophils, one which binds estradiol and one which does not, can be demonstrated in the blood of a CGD carrier. Leukocytes from patients with hereditary MPO deficiency also bind estradiol poorly although the defect is not as severe as in CGD. These findings are discussed in relation to the inactivation of estrogens during infection and the possible role of estrogens in neutrophil function.

Abstract Chemiluminescence can be used to identify defects in the oxidative metabolism of granulocytes. This procedure has recently been adopted for use with microliter quantities of whole blood, appropriate for prenatal or neonatal study. Although the contribution of myeloperoxidase to the chemiluminescence assay has been noted, the possible diagnostic confusion between chronic granulomatous disease of childhood (which is rare and severe) and myeloperoxidase deficiency (which is common and of little clinical consequence) has not been stressed. We report a father and his infant daughter whose cells emitted no light in the luminol-enhanced luminescence assay; both patients are totally peroxidase deficient. These results emphasize the hereditary nature of myeloperoxidase deficiency, and the possibility for erroneous diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease of childhood based on the luminol-enhanced luminescence test.

Abstract The role of reduced glutathione in relation to hexose monophosphate shunt activity and peroxide detoxification has been well established in human erythrocytes. Less is known about the content of reduced glutathione in phagocytic leukocytes and the changes that occur during functional activity. We have measured the reduced sulfhydryl content of normal resting human granulocytes and of cells isolated from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease. Normal cells and those from the patient with chronic granulomatous disease contained similar concentrations of reduced sulfhydryls. Stimulation of a phagocytic response by incubation with opsonized zymosan particles resulted in prompt and nearly complete depletion of intracellular glutathione from normal granulocytes. This fall in reduced glutathione concentration was dependent on the phagocytic load. Exposure of chronic granulomatous disease granulocytes to a similar phagocytic load resulted in a slower and less complete fall in reduced glutathione. In normal cells, those from the chronic granulomatous disease patient, and those from an obligate carrier of the disease, the decrement in reduced glutathione during phagocytosis was correlated with oxidation of 14C-1-glucose and 14C-formate, nitroblue tetrazolium reduction, and the chemiluminescence phenomenon.

We have investigated the role of neutrophil oxidants in the surface changes that result in recognition and uptake of neutrophils by macrophages. We have shown that H2O2 produced by stimulated neutrophils is essential for the surface expression of phosphatidylserine. This does not occur in neutrophils from mice with chronic granulomatous disease and may explain the formation of granuloma in this condition. We have also investigated the role of intracellular vitamin C on neutrophil apoptosis. Cells from vitamin C-deficient mice were found to be less likely to undergo both spontaneous and oxidant-induced apoptosis, with eventual necrosis being the most probable outcome.
