Abstract

Background : Bacterial infections in diabetic patients are an important cause of increased morbidity and mortality. It has been reported that bacterial infections in diabetics showed more impaired PMN functions such as reduced PMN respiratory burst and decreased microbicidal activity in inflammed tissues. Also, apoptosis(programmed cell death) is postulated to be a key mechanism for neutrophil elimination. It is very important that PMN apoptosis keeps the balance from an area of inflammation. Actuallly, as little was known about PMN apoptosis and respiratory burst in diabetes, we investigated PMN apoptosis and hydrogen peroxide production after endotoxin exposure. Methods : Peripheral venous blood samples were collected by routine venipuncture from healthy volunteers and diabetics to harvest neutrophils. We respectively measured the PMN apoptosis, the production of hydrogen peroxide, and the cell viability. Results : Normal neutrophils showed a tendency to decreased apoptosis after endotoxin treatment. In patients with diabetes, PMN apoptosis was significantly decreased compared with healthy controls. In addition, the LPS-induced neutrophils in diabetics demonstrated more decreased apoptosis. However, the production of hydrogen peroxide was not different between groups. Conclusion : These observations suggest that the decreased PMN apoptosis in diabetics with endotoxin exposure may also affect the increased susceptibility and severity of infections.

배 경 : 세균 감염 시 이환율과 사망률이 증가한다고 알려져 있는 당뇨에서 염증 조직 내 활성 산소 기능과 세균능 감소를 보이는 중성구의 기능 이상이 잘 알려져 있다. 또한, 기획성 세포사멸이 중성구 제거에 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 중성구의 기획성 세포사멸은 염증 조직 내I 균형을 유지하는 데 중요하다. 실제 당뇨병에서 중성구의 기획성 세포사멸과 활성 산소에 대한 연구가 없는 실정으로 본 연구를 통해 당뇨에서 내독소 투여시 중성구의 기획성 세포사멸과 과산화수소 분비능을 알고자 하였다. 방 법 : 정상과 당뇨 환자의 전혈을 뽑아 중성구 만을 추출하여 내독소에 노출시킨 후 중성구의 기획성 세포사멸, 과산화수소 분비능, 생존율을 각각 측정하였다. 결 과 : 정상 중성구는 내독소 투여 후 기획성 세포사멸이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 정상과 비교할 때 당뇨환자의 중성구는 기획성 세포사멸이 감소하였고 특히 내 독소를 투여한 군에서 더욱 감소하였다. 과산화수소 분비능의 차이는 보이지 않았다. 결 론 : 본 연구를 통해 당뇨환자에서 내독소 투여로 인한 중성구의 기획성 세포사멸 감소가 당뇨에서 중증 감염과 높은 사망률에 영향을 줄 것으로 사료된다.
