PG - 841-9 AB - Anti-neutrophil cytoplasm autoantibodies (ANCA) directed against proteinase-3 and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activate tumor necrosis factor-alpha-primed neutrophils in vitro. We used neutrophils from one completely and one partially MPO-deficient donor to assess the requirement of MPO expression for neutrophil activation by anti-MPO antibodies. The MPO deficiencies were defined enzymatically, by immunocytochemistry and by immunoblotting. The mutations in the MPO genes of these donors were identified as a combination of a novel splice-site mutation at the 3' end of intron 11 (A-2-->C), a deletion of 14 nucleotides in exon 9 (A1555-C1568), and a novel C1907 --> T (636Thr-->Met) substitution in exon 11 in the completely MPO-deficient donor and as the same splice-site mutation and a novel C995 --> T (332Ala-->Val) substitution in exon 7 in the partially MPO-deficient donor. Monoclonal antibody 4.15 against MPO and MPO-ANCA-immunoglobulin G induced no superoxide anion production in these MPO-deficient neutrophils despite a normal production induced by other stimuli. Thus, the presence of MPO is a conditio sine qua non for neutrophil activation by anti-MPO antibodies. Moreover, we demonstrated that by means of these MPO-deficient cells, hydrogen peroxide may diffuse from neutrophils to surrounding cells, which may contribute to the damage induced by oxygen radicals in the pathology of systemic vasculitides.
