[Protein-synthesizing function of neutrophils and lipid-releasing ability of leukocytes in patients with atherosclerosis].
2013
: Concentrations of defensins-alpha, lipoprotein(α), C-reactive protein, proBNP, VII- coagulation factor and von Wilebrandt factor were measured in supernatants of 3-day leukocyte cultures enriched with neutrophils in order to estimate their synthesis in patients with stable angina and atherosclerosis of lower extremities. In addition, in vitro tumor necrosis factor-alpha test was performed. Simultaneously, concentrations of serum interleukine-6, -8, defensins-alpha, C-reactive protein, proBNP, VII-coagulation factor were determined. Neutrophil protein synthesis was impaired in the patients with stable angina. The same was true of defensins-alpha synthesis whereas production of lipoproteins, pro-BNP, C-reactive proteins, IL-8, and von Wilebrandt factor increased. Pathogenetic role of TNF-alpha was demonstrated.
