3 Disorders of Neutrophils
Noninfectious Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammatory Disease
Abnormal Neutrophil Function
Congenital Neutrophil Abnormalities
2 Types of Noninfectious Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammatory Disease
inappropriate phagocytosis
inappropriate activation of phagocytosis
prolonged activation of NADPH oxidase
inappropriate phagocytosis
phagocytes attempt to engulf particles that are too large, releasing oxygen radicals and granule contents onto the particle, but these escape into the surrounding tissues, generating tissue damage.
inappropriate phagocytosis
Ex: in response to dust inhalation and smoking (e.g., nicotine) and in persistent infections such as cystic fibrosis
inappropriate phagocytosis
Autoimmune diseases such as Grave’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis
inappropriate activation of phagocytosis
4 types of Abnormal Neutrophil Function
Quantitative or qualitative defects of neutrophils
Impaired leukocyte mobility
Defective locomotion or leukocyte immobility
Defect in the cellular response to chemotaxis
high rate of infection
Quantitative or qualitative defects of neutrophils
Quantitative or qualitative defects of neutrophils examples
recurrent systemic bacterial infections (e.g., pneumonia), disseminated cutaneous pyogenic
lesions, and other types of life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections
too low (neutropenia) or too high (neutrophilia) both translates to high infection rate
defects in the granules and neutrophils
Impaired leukocyte mobility
Impaired leukocyte mobility ex
rheumatoid arthritis, cirrhosis, CGD
total immobility, prone to recurrent bacterial infections
Defective locomotion or leukocyte immobility
Defective locomotion or leukocyte immobility ex
Lazy leukocyte syndrome, patients in steroids
recurrent bacterial infection
Defect in the cellular response to chemotaxis
Defect in the cellular response to chemotaxis ex
Chediak Higashi anomaly, sepsis, Job’s syndrome (hyperimmunoglobulinemia E)
- qualitative disorder of neutrophils
- Autosomal recessive
- Abnormal granulation of platelets and neutrophils
- impaired chemotaxis and delayed killing of ingested bacteria
occurs during childhood
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome (anomaly)
group of disorders of oxidative metabolism affecting the cascade of events required for H2O2 production by phagocytes
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
mutation in CYBB – required for microbicidal ROS production by neutrophils and monocytes
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
Results to life- threatening infections and granulomatous complications
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
- deficiency of CR3 on phagocytic cells presents as a leukocyte adhesion deficiency
Complement receptor 3 (CR3) deficiency
marked abnormalities of adherence-related functions
Complement receptor 3 (CR3) deficiency
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (LAD- 1) - deficiency of CD18
LAD-2 - absence of sialyl–Lewis X (CD15s) blood group antigen
Complement receptor 3 (CR3) deficiency
innately present on the body and needed for leukocyte adhesion, adhesion is impaired, translates to LAD 1 and 2
Complement receptor 3 (CR3) deficiency
patient’s phagocytes manifest a mild to moderate defect in bacterial killing and a marked defect infungal killing in vitro
Myeloperoxidase deficiency
