- Introduction: The enzyme deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) is an endonuclease that hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bonds of the double-stranded DNA backbone to yield small oligonucleotide fragments. DNase I is used therapeutically to treat patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The DNase I enzyme is inhaled into the lungs where it then acts upon the DNA contained in the viscous sputum secreted by the lungs in these patients. Hydrolysis of high molecular weight DNA to low molecular weight DNA in the sputum decreases its viscosity and improves lung function. Animal studies have shown that DNase I is also effective in treating the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In this disease, the DNA secreted into the serum provokes an immune response. DNase I prevents the immune response by degrading the DNA to smaller fragments that are not recognized by the immune system.
