Limitation of reactive oxygen species-mediated ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of the lung by vascular immunotargeting of antioxidative enzymes has the potential to become a promising modality for extension of the viability of banked transplantation tissue. The preferential expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in pulmonary capillaries makes it an ideal target for therapy directed toward the pulmonary endothelium. Conjugates of ACE monoclonal antibody (MAb) 9B9 with catalase (9B9-CAT) have been evaluated in vivo for limitation of lung I/R injury in rats. Ischemia of the right lung was induced for 60 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Sham-operated animals (sham, n = 6) were compared with ischemia-reperfused untreated animals (I/R, n = 6), I/R animals treated with biotinylated catalase (CAT, n = 6), and I/R rats treated with the conjugates (9B9-CAT, n = 6). The 9B9-CAT accumulation in the pulmonary endothelium of injured lungs was elucidated immunohistochemically. Arterial oxygenation during reperfusion was significantly higher in 9B9-CAT (221 ± 36 mmHg) and sham (215 ± 16 mmHg; P < 0.001 for both) compared with I/R (110 ± 10 mmHg) and CAT (114 ± 30 mmHg). Wet-dry weight ratio of I/R (6.78 ± 0.94%) and CAT (6.54 ± 0.87%) was significantly higher than of sham (4.85 ± 0.29%; P < 0.05), which did not differ from 9B9-CAT (5.58 ± 0.80%). The significantly lower degree of lung injury in 9B9-CAT-treated animals compared with I/R rats was also shown by decreased serum levels of endothelin-1 (sham, 18 ± 9 fmol/mg; I/R, 42 ± 12 fmol/mg; CAT, 36 ± 11 fmol/mg; 9B9-CAT, 26 ± 9 fmol/mg; P < 0.01) and mRNA for inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) [iNOS-GAPDH ratio: sham, 0.15 ± 0.06 arbitrary units (a.u.); I/R, 0.33 ± 0.08 a.u.; CAT, 0.26 ± 0.05 a.u.; 9B9-CAT, 0.14 ± 0.04 a.u.; P < 0.001]. These results validate immunotargeting by anti-ACE conjugates as a prospective and specific strategy to augment antioxidative defenses of the pulmonary endothelium in vivo.

ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme; peptidyl dipeptidase A; EC 3.4.15.1), cleaves C-terminal dipeptides from active peptides containing a free C-terminus. We investigated the hydrolysis of cholecystokinin-8 [CCK-8; Asp-Tyr(SO3H)-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2] and of various gastrin analogues by purified rabbit lung ACE. Although these peptides are amidated at their C-terminal end, they were metabolized by ACE to several peptide fragments. These fragments were analysed by h.p.l.c., isolated and identified by comparison with synthetic fragments, and by amino acid analysis. The initial and major site of hydrolysis was the penultimate peptide bond, which generated a major product, the C-terminal amidated dipeptide Asp-Phe-NH2. As a secondary cleavage, ACE subsequently released di- or tri-peptides from the C-terminal end of the remaining N-terminal fragments. The cleavage of CCK-8 and gastrin analogues was inhibited by ACE inhibitors (Captopril and EDTA), but not by other enzyme inhibitors (phosphoramidon, thiorphan, bestatin etc.). Hydrolysis of [Leu15]gastrin-(14-17)-peptide [Boc (t-butoxycarbonyl)-Trp-Leu-Asp-Phe-NH2] in the presence of ACE was found to be dependent on the chloride-ion concentration. Km values for the hydrolysis of CCK-8, [Leu15]gastrin-(11-17)-peptide and Boc-[Leu15]gastrin-(14-17)-peptide at an NaCl concentration of 300 mM were respectively 115, 420 and 3280 microM, and the catalytic constants were about 33, 115 and 885 min-1. The kcat/Km for the reactions at 37 degrees C was approx. 0.28 microM-1.min-1, which is approx. 35 times less than that reported for the cleavage of angiotensin I. These results suggest that ACE might be involved in the metabolism in vivo of CCK and gastrin short fragments.
