The regulation of polymorphonuclear leukoctye (PMN) apoptosis can influence the duration of the inflammatory response. We have previously shown that PMN apoptosis is delayed by matrix adhesion and hypoxia; however, the mechanisms responsible for this delay are not well understood. Mcl-1, an antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family member, is present in neutrophils; therefore, we sought to characterize its localization and function as it relates to PMN apoptosis. We found that Mcl-1 localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm and that expression levels decreased as PMN were aged in culture. Reducing available Mcl-1 through the use of antisense oligonucleotides demonstrated that Mcl-1 is necessary to delay apoptosis during normal PMN aging and hypoxia but is not required for suppression of apoptosis by laminin adhesion. Our results demonstrate a distinct expression pattern of Mcl-1 and that Mcl-1 is crucial for the delay of apoptosis initiated by certain antiapoptotic factors.

Key Words: neutrophil • hypoxia • laminin
