Constitutive production of angiotensin converting enzyme from rheumatoid nodule cells under serum free conditions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Angiotensin converting enzyme was assayed in serum free culture supernatants from unstimulated rheumatoid nodule cells. Angiotensin converting enzyme was released spontaneously and the angiotensin converting enzyme derived from rheumatoid nodule cells was suppressed in a dose and time dependent manner by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. These data suggest the constitutive de novo synthesis of angiotensin converting enzyme by rheumatoid nodule cells.

Serum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Patients with Psoriasis
Background: Controversial data concerning the elevation of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme in psoriasis are reported in the literature. In order to verify whether this abnormality exists in Iranian patients, we performed this study. Method: Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level was measured in 40 psoriatics. According to clinical forms of psoriasis, patients were further divided into th...
متن کاملSpontaneous release of angiotensin converting enzyme and interleukin 1 from peripheral blood monocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis under a serum free condition
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and interleukin 1 activities were assayed simultaneously in the serum free medium from the unstimulated peripheral blood monocytes from 32 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 11 patients with osteoarthritis, and 25 normal controls matched for age and sex. Angiotensin converting enzyme activity was raised in most (29/32) patients with RA and interleukin 1...

متن کاملStudy of Serum and Tissues Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Rat with Gentamicin Induced Renal Toxicity
The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) converts the inactive angiotensin I molecule to the active angiotensin II. ACE is rich in epithelium, endothelium, and neuroepithelial cells and it found largely on the brush border of intestine and kidney proximal tubules. ACE also presents in the serum. Some pulmonary and renal toxic drugs change the serum and tissue ACE contents. In this research ACE...
متن کاملAngiotensin-converting enzyme in cultured endothelial cells. Synthesis, degradation, and transfer to culture medium.
Cultured endothelial cells from swine aorta possess the ecto-enzyme angiotensin-converting enzyme (E.C.3.4.15.1) in cell-associated form and also release it in soluble form into the culture medium. Using antibody to purified converting enzyme from swine kidney and incorporation of 3H-leucine, we examined the synthesis, degradation, and release of enzyme into the medium. 3H-leucine is incorporat...
