The time course and nature of the pulmonary inflammatory and antioxidant responses, both during and after hyperoxic-induced acute lung injury were studied in the preterm guinea pig. Three-day preterm (65 days gestation) guinea pigs were randomly exposed to either 21% O2 (control) or 95% O2 (hyperoxia) for 72 hours. All pups were then maintained in ambient conditions for up to a further 11 days, during which time lung damage was monitored. In animals exposed to hyperoxia, evidence of acute lung injury and inflammation was characterized by a marked increase in microvascular permeability and elevated numbers of neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Protein concentration, elastase-like activity and elastase-inhibitory capacity in lavage fluid were at a maximum at the end of the 72 hours hyperoxic exposure. Four days later, all values had returned to control levels. In contrast, increased numbers of neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes were recovered in the lavage fluid during this early recovery period. Coinciding with the influx of inflammatory cells, there was a significant increase in glutathione peroxidase, manganese superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in immature lung. Lung copper/zinc superoxide dismutase activity remained unchanged during both experimental periods. The strong temporal relationship between the influx of inflammatory cells to the lung and the induction of pulmonary antioxidant enzyme defences suggests that a common mechanism underlies both responses. These findings have led us to regard inflammation in the hyperoxic-injured immature lung as a beneficial event and not, as previously suggested, as part of the injurious process. 相似文献

The kinetic properties of the human granulocyte elastase /EC 3.4.21.11/ were investigated with 24 tripeptidyl-pNA substrates. By the regression analysis of the kinetic data obtained with 15 substrates a relatively hydrophobic compound, Boc-D-Phe-Ala-Nle-pNA, was predicted as the optimal substrate sequence. The compound was synthesized, assayed and the predicted Km = 4.2 uM was confirmed experimentally. The substrate-binding site of granulocyte elastase appeared to be hydrophobic and very much similar to that of the pancreatic enzyme at the S2–S4 subsites, but the S1 subsite, which determines the primary specificity, could accomodate bulkier residues and it was less selective than that in the pancreatic enzyme. 相似文献
