摘要

We examined human tears for molecules that killed gram-positive bacteria. The principal mediator of bactericidal activity against staphylococci proved to be a calcium-dependent enzyme, secretory phospholipase A2. Whereas the concentration of secretory phospholipase A2 in the normal tear film exceeded 30 μg/ml, only 1.1 ng (<0.1 nM) of the enzyme per ml sufficed to killListeria monocytogenes and 15 to 80 ng/ml killedStaphylococcus aureus. Despite its efficacy against gram-positive bacteria, secretory phospholipase A2 lacked bactericidal activity against gram-negative organisms (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, andPseudomonas aeruginosa) when tested in the ionic environment of tears. Given the presence of secretory phospholipase A2 in tears, intestinal secretions, and leukocytes, this enzyme may play a substantial role in innate mucosal and systemic bactericidal defenses against gram-positive bacteria.
