Abstract: | The ability of the emulsion of perfluoroorganic compounds stabilized with proxanol 268 to affect the functions of peritoneal neutrophils was evaluated. The functional activity of neutrophils was estimated from the intensity of generation of reactive oxygen species using the method of chemiluminescent analysis. The emulsion was shown to suppress the neutrophil responses to phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate in a dose-dependent manner. No inhibition of the activity of neutrophils in the presence of the emulsion was observed in N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine stimulated cells. The data obtained indirectly confirm the suggestion that the perfluoride emulsion inhibits neutrophil NADPH oxidase activity. In the presence of the perfluoride emulsion, myeloperoxidase plays a more important role in the generation of luminescent responses in both N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine- and phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-stimulated neutrophils. The effect of perfluoride emulsion results in the preferential myeloperoxidase-produced generation of reactive oxygen species in the neutrophil respiratory burst. |
