Role of peptidases in bradykinin-induced increase in vascular permeability in vivo.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine whether neutral endopeptidase and angiotensin I-converting enzyme, two membrane-bound metalloenzymes that are widely distributed in the microcirculation, play a role in bradykinin-induced increase in vascular permeability in the hamster cheek pouch. Changes in vascular permeability were quantified by counting the number of leaky sites and by calculating the clearance of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran (molecular mass, 70,000 d) during suffusion of the cheek po… Show more

“…The number of leaky sites was determined by counting three random microscopic fields at predetermined time intervals during each intervention. The total number of leaky sites was then averaged and expressed as the number of leaky sites per 0.11 cm 2 of cheek pouch, which corresponds to the area of one microscopic field (9,10,12,30).…”

“…Then, two concentrations of bradykinin (0.5 and 1.0 µM) were suffused for 5 min in a nonsystematic fashion. At least 45 min elapsed between subsequent suffusions of bradykinin (8,11,13,17,30). After suffusion of bradykinin was stopped and the number of leaky sites returned to baseline, purified ACE (0.05 unit) was suffused for 30 min before and during a second suffusion of bradykinin (0.5 and 1.0 µM).…”
