Bauhinia bauhinioides cruzipain inhibitor (BbCI) is a serine-cysteine proteinase inhibitor. We evaluated BbCI treatment in elastase-induced pulmonary alterations. Methods. C57BL/6 mice received intratracheal elastase (ELA group) or saline (SAL group). One group of mice was treated with BbCI (days 1, 15, and 21 after elastase instillation, ELABC group). Controls received saline and BbCI (SALBC group). After 28 days, we evaluated respiratory mechanics, exhaled nitric oxide, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. In lung tissue we measured airspace enlargement, quantified neutrophils, TNF alpha-, MMP-9-, MMP-12-, TIMP-1-, iNOS-, and eNOS-positive cells, 8-iso-PGF2 alpha, collagen,and elastic fibers in alveolar septa and airways. MUC-5-positive cells were quantified only in airways. Results. BbCI reduced elastase-induced changes in pulmonary mechanics, airspace enlargement and elastase-induced increases in total cells, and neutrophils in BALF. BbCI reduced macrophages and neutrophils positive cells in alveolar septa and neutrophils and TNF alpha-positive cells in airways. BbCI attenuated elastic and collagen fibers, MMP-9- and MMP-12-positive cells, and isoprostane and iNOS-positive cells in alveolar septa and airways. BbCI reduced MUC5ac-positive cells in airways. Conclusions. BbCI improved lung mechanics and reduced lung inflammation and airspace enlargement and increased oxidative stress levels induced by elastase. BbCI may have therapeutic potential in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
- A plant proteinase inhibitor from Crataeva tapia (CrataBL) attenuates elastase-induced pulmonary inflammatory, remodeling, and mechanical alterations in mice(2015) OLIVA, Leandro V.; ALMEIDA-REIS, Rafael; THEODORO-JUNIOR, Osmar; OLIVEIRA, Bruno M.; LEICK, Edna A.; PRADO, Carla M.; BRITO, Marlon V.; CORREIA, Maria Tereza dos Santos; PAIVA, Patricia M. G.; MARTINS, Milton A.; OLIVA, Maria Luiza V.; TIBERIO, Iolanda F. L. C.Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to chronic and obstructive bronchitis and emphysema resulting in decreased bronchial lumen size. This study evaluated the effect of CrataBL, a protein isolated from the bark of Crataeva tapia, on lung mechanics, inflammation, and remodeling after elastase-induced pulmonary alterations in mice. The use of CrataBL led to decreased mechanical alterations, alveolar septum disruption (Lm), number of macrophage and neutrophil cells in the BALF, and TNF-alpha, MMP-9, MMP-12, TIMP-1, eNOS, and iNOS positive cells in the airways and alveolar walls compared to the animals in the ELA group. Moreover, a reduction in MUC-5-positive cells in the airway walls was observed. In conclusion, CrataBL attenuates changes in lung mechanics, inflammation, extracellular lung remodeling, and oxidative stress responses induced by the administration of elastase and decreased the volume fraction of isoprostane, collagen, and elastic fibers in the airways and alveolar walls compared to the animals in the ELA groups. Therefore, CrataBL is a potential therapeutic tool in the treatment of COPD.
