Interaction of Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor with Proteinase-3

Abstract: Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is a 12 kD nonglycosylated serine antiproteinase secreted by cells of mucosal surfaces. In human lung, SLPI is present in the respiratory epithelium. It is the major barrier to tissue destruction mediated by the polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) serine proteinases, elastase and cathepsin G, within the upper respiratory tract. We have recently described a third PMN serine proteinase, proteinase-3, that like elastase causes lung matrix destruction and experimental em… Show more

“…Inhibition of leukocyte motility (which inhibited neutrophil migration into the airways) prevented chemoattractant-induced GC degranulation, implicating neutrophils and their products in the response. Neutrophils contain three proteases capable of causing secretion: elastase, cathepsin G [16] and proteinase-3 [26,27]. In the present studies, pretreatment with ICI 200,355, a selective inhibitor of elastase and proteinase-3 but not cathepsin G [28], prevented chemoattractant-induced GC degranulation.…”

“…In this regard, whether CG and PR3 are as potent as NE to degrade TLR-4 needs to be assessed. This could be of important biological relevance given that these proteases are all released from neutrophil granules, but show different susceptibilities to inactivation by physiological protease inhibitors such as SLPI (50). Interestingly, inspection of the primary structure of TLR-4 especially within the putative extracellular domain (amino acid sequence from 26 to 638, NCBI accession number Q9QUK6) reveals the presence of peptide bonds that are preferred by the enzymes (51).…”

“…To discriminate between these two proteases, SLPI and AAPA-CMK were employed. Both are effective inhibitors of elastase, but do not inhibit proteinase 3 (54,55). Therefore, if proteinase 3 were responsible for degrading the DBP binding site, SLPI and AAPA-CMK should have shown no increase in binding over the untreated control.…”
