Abstract/OtherAbstract:

The NADPH-oxidase complex of phagocytic cells plays a key role in the defense against invading pathogens, through the release of superoxide anion, precursor of other reactive oxygen species (ROS). NADPH-oxidase deficiency is called Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD), in which patients suffer from recurrent infections and from the formation of granulomas in various organs. Research on NADPH-oxidase has much benefited from the discovery of cell-free systems, i.e. reconstitution assays from broken resting (unstimulated) phagocytes, in which activation of the oxidase is elicited in vitro. Cell-free systems were developed in parallel to studies of molecular defects of patients with CGD, both approaches leading to the identification of the major proteins implicated in enzyme activation. Variations around the cell-free system allowed molecular dissection of the mechanism of NADPH-oxidase activation and provided insights into its relationship to phagocytosis. |
