Activities of dipeptidyl peptidase II and dipeptidyl peptidase IV in mice with lupus erythematosus-like syndrome and in patients with lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract: We examined the activities of peptidases in plasma and tissues of the New Zealand Black (NZB) mouse as an animal model of human systemic lupus erythematosus, and also in serum from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Activities of dipeptidyl peptidase II (DAP II) and post-proline cleaving enzyme (PPCE) were increased, and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DAP IV) activity was decreased in plasma and spleen of NZB mice, as compared with the control BALB/c mice. Likewise, the activity of … Show more

“…Shedding of DPP4 from different tissues seems to be varied at different disease conditions. For example, plasma DPP4 levels are increased in T2DM, obesity, NAFLD, cancer, renal graft rejection , osteoporosis where as it is decreased in rheumatoid arthritis (RA; ) and pregnancy .…”

“…In RA, decreased DPPIV enzymatic activity was observed in blood plasma/sera compared with healthy controls [ 32 ]. Further studies demonstrated a significant inverse correlation of serum DPPIV activity with disease severity as determined by C-reactive protein concentration, the number of swollen joints and with the Disease Activity Score 28 [ 33 - 35 ].…”

“…The relationship of DPPII/QPP/DPP7 activity to CD26-related enzyme activity is complex in that DPPII activity increases in the plasma of RA patients, while DPPIV decreases [ 32 ]. This suggests that, overall, DASH activity may be less critical than individual substrate specificity, which may be influenced in large part by initial subcellular localization rather than plasma levels.…”

“…In mouse models of T cell-mediated autoimmunity, inhibitors of DPP-4 can reduce disease severity and are associated with increases in transforming growth factor (TGF)-β levels and improvements in immune tolerance induction [18,19]. Interestingly, in human autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, increased CD26 levels on leucocytes are observed, yet there is decreased DPP-4-associated peptidase activity [20][21][22]. The reason for the discrepancy between activity and membrane CD26 levels is unclear, but this could be due to decreased shedding of CD26 from the membrane or decreased levels of other peptidases that cleave the same substrate.…”
