This study aims to evaluate the effects of pentoxifylline on apoptosis in cultured human cells, particularly neutrophils.
Measured apoptosis using flow cytometric analysis in human blood neutrophils and U937 cell line.
Evaluated the effects of pentoxifylline and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor on cell death.
Studied the impact of catalase on apoptosis in conjunction with pentoxifylline treatment.
Pentoxifylline significantly inhibited spontaneous apoptosis in neutrophils.
Combination of GM-CSF and pentoxifylline did not exhibit enhanced apoptosis inhibition compared to either treatment alone.
Catalase in the medium reduced neutrophil apoptosis, showing a cumulative effect with pentoxifylline.
