Elastinolytic activity of horse leukocyte proteinases. Comparison with elastases from human leukocytes and porcine pancreas.

Abstract:

:Three proteinases from the azurophilic granules of horse leucocytes are typical elastases degrading elastin at neutral pH. Both proteinases: 1 and 2A exhibit similar elastinolytic activity, comparable with human leucocyte elastase (HLE). In relation to human enzyme, elastase 2B shows several-fold higher activity, which is comparable to the porcine pancreatic elastase activity (PPE). Similarly to HLE elastinolytic activity of the horse proteinases increases at higher ionic strength: twofold in case of 1 or 2A and fivefold for 2B. Significant activity observed during degradation of homologous lung elastin, implies the possible role of these enzymes during pathological injury of connective tissue in the lower respiratory tract and suggests similar pathogenesis of horse and human pulmonary emphysema.
