Amount of damage to hyphae was measured by inhibition of [14C]cytosine uptake. Neutrophils from only 1 of 4 patients with chronic granulomatous disease damaged hyphae at all. Neutrophils from this single patient damaged hyphae far less efficiently than simultaneously tested neutrophils from normal control subjects. Neutrophils from neither of 2 subjects with hereditary myeloperoxidase deficiency damaged the hyphae. This confirmed the importance of oxidative mechanisms in general and myeloperoxidase-mediated systems in particular in damaging Candida hyphae. Several potentially fungicidal oxidative intermediates are produced by metabolic pathways of normal neutrophils but their relative toxicity for Candida hyphae was previously unknown. To help determine this, cell-free in vitro systems were used to generate these potentially microbicidal products. Myeloperoxidase with H2O2, iodide and chloride resulted in 91.2% damage to hyphal inocula in 11 experiments. There was less damage when chloride or iodide was omitted and no damage when myeloperoxidase was omitted or inactivated by heating. Azide, cyanide and catalase (but not heated catalase) inhibited the damage. Systems for generation of H2O2 could replace reagent H2O2 in the myeloperoxidase system. These included glucose oxidase, in the presence of glucose, and xanthine oxidase, in the presence of hypoxanthine or acetaldehyde. In the presence of myeloperoxidase and a halide, the toxicity of the xanthine oxidase system was not inhibited by superoxide dismutase and under some conditions was marginally increased by this enzyme. Superoxide radical probably did not damage hyphae directly but served primarily as an intermediate in the production of H2O2. The possible damage to hyphae by singlet oxygen was examined using photoactivation of rose bengal. This dye damaged hyphae in the presence of light and oxygen. The effect was almost completely inhibited by putative quenchers of singlet oxygen: histidine, tryptophan and 1,4-diazobicyclo[2.2.2]octane. These agents inhibited damage to hyphae by myeloperoxidase, halide and H2O2 or a peroxide source (xanthine oxidase plus acetaldehyde). Myeloperoxidase-mediated damage to hyphae was inhibited by dimethylsulfoxide, an antioxidant and scavenger of the hydroxyl radical. The involvement of oxidative mechanisms, and the myeloperoxidase-H2O2-halide system in particular, in damaging hyphae in vitro and perhaps in vivo as well is supported.
