To elucidate the role of A1, a new member of the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis regulators active in hematopoietic cell apoptosis,we established mice lacking A1-a, a subtype of the A1 gene inmice (A1-a^/ mice). Spontaneous apoptosis of peripheral blood neutrophilsof A1-a^/ mice was enhanced compared with that of either wild-type miceor heterozygous mutants (A1-a^+/ mice). Neutrophil apoptosis inhibition induced by lipopolysaccharidetreatment in vitro or transendothelial migration in vivo observedin wild-type mice was abolished in both A1-a^/ and A1-a^+/ animals. On the other hand, the extent of tumor necrosis factor $alpha$ -induced acceleration of neutrophil apoptosis did not differamong A1-a^/, A1-a^+/, and wild-type mice. The descending order of A1 mRNA expressionwas wild-type, A1-a^+/, and A1-a^/. Taken together, these results suggest that A1 is involved ininhibition of certain types of neutrophil apoptosis.

Key words: neutrophil; apoptosis; A1; bcl-2-related gene; gene disruption
