Apoptosis of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) is currently discussed as a key event in the control of inflammation. This study determined PMN apoptosis and its underlying mechanisms in controls (C), patients with stable (SAP) or unstable angina (UAP), and with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Blood was drawn from 15 subjects of each C, SAP, UAP, and AMI. Apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry in isolated PMN (propidium iodide staining) and PMN from whole blood (CD 16, FcgammaRIII). Serum cytokines were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Apoptosis of isolated PMN was delayed significantly in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) as compared with SAP or C (C, 51.2 +/- 12.6%; SAP, 44.9 +/- 13.6%; UAP, 28.4 +/- 10.0%; AMI, 20.3 +/- 8.5 %; AMI or UAP vs. SAP or C, P
