Partial myeloperoxidase deficiency in preleukemia

Abstract: In seven subjects with partial and apparently acquired form of myeloperoxidase (MPO) deficiency, some functional properties of neutrophils (PMNs) were studied. Five patients suffered from preleukemia, one from diabetes mellitus and one from carcinoma of the breast with bone marrow metastases. Intracellular bactericidal activity, oxygen consumption and superoxide radical production were within normal limits. In three patients with preleukemia, the serum opsonic activity was markedly reduced (less than m-3SD) in… Show more

“…Case reports have linked MPO deficiency with a variety of clinical disorders, including dermatologic syndromes with or without associated defects in neutrophil chemotaxis [111, 120 -122] and disseminated candidiasis in the setting of preeclampsia [123] or pre-maturity [124], although the causal link with MPO deficiency is lacking. MPO deficiency has also been associated with clinical settings unrelated to host defense against infection, with reports of increased susceptibility to malignant diseases [125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133] and decreased susceptibility to neutrophil-mediated vascular dysfunction [118].…”

“…Studies are also currently underway to characterize genomic DNA and MPO gene expression in cells from patients with the acquired MPO deficiency seen in some patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Estimates of the size of this population vary, although some studies indicate prevalences as high as 48% for AML (92), 20% CML (26), and 57% for M2-4 leukemias (93). In addition, some patients with preleukemia (93) and myelodysplasia (94,95) have been reported to have acquired MPO deficiency.…”

In addition, some patients with preleukemia (93) and myelodysplasia (94,95) have been reported to have acquired MPO deficiency. Certainly these patients represent obvious examples of clinically relevant situations in which to examine the relationship between MPO gene expression and myeloid differentiation.…”

“…Infectious and inflammatory diseases have also been observed in approximately 50% of human patients evaluated (9). Hematologic neoplasms were a further differential diagnose in human patients with MPOD (2,4). In the current study, just one patient suffered from lymphoma.…”
