The enzymic reduction and kinetics of oxidation of cytochrome b-245 of neutrophils.

Abstract: 1. The absorption coefficient of human neutrophil plasma-membrane reduced-minus-oxidized cytochrome b-245 was determined [delta epsilon (mM; 559-540 nm) = 21.6 cm-1]. 2. Neutrophil polymorphonuclear leucocytes (neutrophils) were prepared from human, ox, horse and pig blood. In each case plasma-membrane fractions were found to contain low-potential cytochrome b. When membranes from horse neutrophils were incubated anaerobically with either NADH or NADPH the cytochrome b became reduced. Prior stimulation of the cells with phorbol myristate acetate did not increase the rate or extent of cytochrome b reduction in isolated membranes, but did increase both the rate and extent of reduction by NADPH in Triton-treated cells. 3. A cytochrome b was present also in the specific granule fraction of human neutrophils. Its Em (pH 7.0) was found to be -248 mV, very similar to that of the plasma-membrane cytochrome b. 4. The rate of oxidation of reduce cytochrome b-245 by air-saturated buffer, was determined by using stopped-flow techniques. In intact membranes t 1/2 for oxidation was 4.7 ms. This rate is sufficiently rapid to support the view that cytochrome b-245 is the oxidase in the respiratory burst of neutrophils. 5. Plasma-membrane cytochrome b of human neutrophils formed a complex with CO. At room temperature and 1 atm of CO approx. 40% of the cytochrome formed a complex; approx. 60% binding was measured at the increased concentration of dissolved CO achieved at 5 degrees C. The concentration of CO giving 50% binding was 1.18 mM.

Summary

The research determined the absorption coefficient of cytochrome b-245 in different animals, its oxidation process, and its possible role in the respiratory burst of neutrophils. The study utilized neutrophils, which are a type of white blood cell, from various animal species. The researchers investigated the behavior of a particular molecule, cytochrome b-245, in these cells and suggested this molecule could be important in the immune response.

Experiment Setup and Procedures

  • The research involved neutrophil cells from humans, cows, horses, and pigs, where it was discovered that all contained low-potential cytochrome b.
  • The isolated membranes were incubated anaerobically with either types of NADH or NADPH to investigate whether the cytochrome b underwent a reduction. Furthermore, the researchers used phorbol myristate acetate to stimulate the cells and observe any effect on the rate and extent of cytochrome b reduction.
  • Similarly, cytochrome b was also found in a specific granule fraction of human neutrophils. The researchers determined its reduction potential which was -248 mV, very close to that of the plasma-membrane cytochrome b.

Results and Findings

  • The experiment determined that the cytochrome b-245 molecule was present both in the plasma membrane and certain specific granules in human neutrophils.
  • The oxidation of the reduced cytochrome b-245 was swift enough to suggest that it could be the oxidase in the respiratory burst of neutrophils. This is a process in which the white blood cells rapidly release reactive oxygen species to combat infections.
  • They also found that cytochrome b of human neutrophils was able to form a complex with CO (carbon monoxide). The percentage of cytochrome that formed a complex varied, with approximately 40% at room temperature and 60% at a colder temperature. The concentration of CO that produced 50% binding was found to be 1.18 mM.

Conclusions

  • The research suggests a connection between the oxidation of cytochrome b-245 and the respiratory burst in neutrophils. This is an interesting discovery as the respiratory burst is a significant part of the immune response. Therefore, the findings may have important implications for understanding and treating diseases where the immune response is important.
