Abstract
In order to evaluate the pathological role of verotoxin 2 (VT2), we investigated the effects of VT2 on neutrophil apoptosis in vitro. The results showed that VT2 caused a significant delay in spontaneous neutrophil apoptosis and that the effect was abrogated by a protein kinase C inhibitor. These data indicate that longer survival of neutrophils may aggravate neutrophil-mediated tissue damage in VT2-associated diseases.Entities:
