Taurine chloramine (Tau-Cl) inhibits production of nitric oxide (NO) by activated peritoneal macrophages and attenuates accumulation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) in the culture media, similar co that previously reported for activated RAW 264.7 cells. In addition, the effect of Tau-Cl and taurine on superoxide anion (O-2(-)) production in murine peritoneal exudate polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) was examined. Tau-Cl inhibited O-2(-) production in a manner that was dose-dependent and reversible. Taurine also inhibited O-2(-) production by stimulated PMN, but at higher concentrations and to a lesser extent than Tau-Cl. The effects of taurine on O-2(-) production was attributed to the in vitro formation of Tau-Cl catalyzed by PMN associated halide-dependent myeloperoxidase. In contrast, production of NO by activated peritoneal macrophages and accumulation of TNF-alpha in the media was inhibited by Tau-Cl while taurine was without effect. These data lend support to the notion that Tau-Cl may participate in the inflammatory response by modulating production of inflammatory mediators.
