Inhibition of homogeneous human eosinophil arylsulfatase B by sulfidopeptide leukotrienes.

چکیده
Arylsulfatase B, purified to homogeneity from human eosinophils, is a tetrameric enzyme whose activity varied in accordance with the state of association of its monomeric subunits. The rate of dissociation of oligomeric forms was slow relative to the rate of the enzymatic reaction so that the kinetic properties of the enzyme depended on the concentration of the enzyme before assay. For concentrated enzyme solutions (14 micrograms/ml), Lineweaver-Burk analysis demonstrated substrate inhibition at greater than or equal to 20 mM substrate and revealed two distinct regions of activity at low and intermediate substrate concentrations. The addition of bovine serum albumin (60 micrograms/ml) or sucrose (0.25 M), which prevent subunit dissociation, yielded a linear relationship on Lineweaver-Burk analysis at non-inhibitory substrate concentrations. For dilute enzyme concentrations (4.7 micrograms/ml), inhibition occurred at greater than or equal to 2 mM substrate. Nanomolar amounts of leukotriene C4 (LTC4), relative to millimolar concentrations of substrate, inhibited eosinophil arylsulfatase B. On Lineweaver-Burk analysis, the pattern of inhibition of LTC4 with concentrated enzyme was compatible with competitive inhibition of only one oligomeric form of the enzyme, whereas at low enzyme concentrations the pattern of inhibition was apparently competitive. These findings suggest that LTC4 is a potent competitive inhibitor of a dissociated, possibly dimeric, form of the enzyme. Nanomolar concentrations of LTC4, leukotriene D4, and leukotriene E4 were equally inhibitory, whereas leukotriene B4 and isomeric 5,12-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids had no inhibitory activity, indicating a requirement for a thiopeptide at C-6. Thiopeptide leukotriene analogs without an intact triene structure also lacked inhibitory activity. Sulfoxide analogs of LTC4 and leukotriene D4 were potent inhibitors, although two sulfone analogs of leukotriene D4 were not inhibitory. Arylsulfatase B did not inactivate the spasmogenic activity of sulfidopeptide leukotrienes. These findings indicate that sulfidopeptide leukotrienes and their sulfoxide derivatives may regulate by competitive inhibition the activity of oligomeric forms of the eosinophil lysosomal hydrolase, arylsulfatase B.

Interleukin-5 Potentiates Sulfidopeptide Leukotriene Production by Human Eosinophils
Interleukin-5 (IL-5) has been shown to be a selective eosinophil growth and differentiation factor. In the present study, the effect of recombinant human IL-5 on human eosinophil sulfidopeptide leukotriene production was investigated. IL-5 did not affect leukotriene synthesis in unstimulated eosinophils. However, IL-5 potentiated leukotriene synthesis by eosinophils stimulated with serum treate...

Administration of exogenous sulfidopeptide leukotrienes (LTs) is associated with enhanced microvascular permeability. In addition, endogenous LTs have been implicated as participants in permeability (nonhydrostatic) edema formation. The source of LTs for interaction with the microvasculature is, however, unknown. We hypothesized that pericytes contribute to vascular LT synthesis. Under basal co...

Phospholipase D preferentially contained in human eosinophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes as compared to other leukocytes was isolated by sequential asion and cation exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The purified eosinophil enzyme specifically liberated choline from I-alpha-phosphatidyl choline with a pH optimum of 4.5-6.0 and exhibited a pI of 5.8-6.2 on polyacrylamide-gel isoelectri...

Conclusions: Eosinophils enhances the proliferation of ASM cells. This role of eosinophil does not seem to depend on ASM derived ECM proteins nor on Eosinophil derived TGF-b or TNF-a. Eosinophil seems to induce ASM proliferat...

The arylsulfatase activity and histamine concentration of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were examined in patients with bronchial asthma in relation to the eosinophil count and asthma type (atopic and non-atopic). The BALF arylsulfatase activity and histamine concentration were significantly higher in atopic asthmatics than in non-atopic asthmatics. In atopic asthmatics, the activity of ar...
