The human neutrophil lysosomal enzyme, myeloperoxidase (MPO), exists in three major and chromatographically distinct forms, MPO I, MPO II, and MPO III. We used cation-exchange medium-pressure liquid chromatography and kinetic microenzyme assay (or spectrophotometric monitoring) to analyze the secretion of MPO isoforms by neutrophils exposed to N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (FMLP), digitonin, the ionophore A23187, and serum-opsonized zymosan A (SOZ). All three MPO isomers were released into the fluid phase after neutrophils were exposed to these secretagogues. A significant proportional increase in MPO I was released when neutrophils were stimulated with SOZ. MPO I was released in higher proportions than found in the whole cell constituency when neutrophils were stimulated with FMLP + cytochalasin B, A23187, and digitonin, but this was not statistically significant.
