Biochemical studies on the leukocytes in Chediak-Higashi syndrome. 1977

G Zabucchi, and R Cramer, and M R Soranzo, and P Tamaro, and F Panizon

Blood leukocytes from a patient with Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) were compared with normal cells for their capacity of extruding (exocytosis) the lysosomal enzyme myeloperoxidase during phagocytosis or after a treatment with the ionophore A23187 and Ca2+. A decreased rate and extent of exocytosis in phagocytizing CHS cells was observed also with the Ca2+ ionophore. This suggests that a defect in Ca2+ mobilization is not responsible for the impaired secretion of granule content. Isolated granules of CHS cells and of leukocytes were treated with the detergent Triton X-100. Since the solubilization of myeloperoxidase from the CHS granules was much lower than from the normal ones, we suggest that the former organelles have a more resistant membrane.

D011092 Polyethylene Glycols Polymers of ETHYLENE OXIDE and water, and their ethers. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid depending on the molecular weight indicated by a number following the name. They are used as SURFACTANTS, dispersing agents, solvents, ointment and suppository bases, vehicles, and tablet excipients. Some specific groups are NONOXYNOLS, OCTOXYNOLS, and POLOXAMERS.

D002609 Chediak-Higashi Syndrome A form of phagocyte bactericidal dysfunction characterized by unusual oculocutaneous albinism, high incidence of lymphoreticular neoplasms, and recurrent pyogenic infections. In many cell types, abnormal lysosomes are present leading to defective pigment distribution and abnormal neutrophil functions. The disease is transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance and a similar disorder occurs in the beige mouse, the Aleutian mink, and albino Hereford cattle.

D000001 Calcimycin An ionophorous, polyether antibiotic from Streptomyces chartreusensis. It binds and transports CALCIUM and other divalent cations across membranes and uncouples oxidative phosphorylation while inhibiting ATPase of rat liver mitochondria. The substance is used mostly as a biochemical tool to study the role of divalent cations in various biological systems. 4-Benzoxazolecarboxylic acid, 5-(methylamino)-2-((3,9,11-trimethyl-8-(1-methyl-2-oxo-2-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)ethyl)-1,7-dioxaspiro(5.5)undec-2-yl)methyl)-, (6S-(6alpha(2S*,3S*),8beta(R*),9beta,11alpha))-,A-23187,A23187,Antibiotic A23187,A 23187,A23187, Antibiotic
