The intracellular mechanisms of NDMA-induced apoptosis of neutrophils have not yet been fully understood. The aim of this study was to explain whether the TRAIL/DR5 system is implicated in NDMA-induced apoptosis of human neutrophils. The expression of TRAIL and DR5 was examined, as well as the secretion of sTRAIL and sDR5 by human neutrophils treated with NDMA confronted with intensity apoptosis of these cells. For comparative purposes similar examinations in autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were performed. Decreased expression and secretion of TRAIL and increased expression and secretion of DR5 associated with increased intensity of apoptosis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) suggest that NDMA-induced apoptosis in these cells may be depend on TRAIL/DR5 system. Autologous PBMCs no exerted that changes in the expression and secretion of TRAIL as well as in the intensity of apoptosis. However, the expression and secretion of DR5 by PBMCs were similar to those by PMNs. Differences above suggest that PMNs are more sensitive to unfavorable action of NDMA than PBMCs.
