사람 중성구내의 azurophil granule 내에 존재하는 serine protease인 cathepsin G는 정상 반응에서는 항 박테리아 작용을 나타내는데 관여하지만, 이들의 효소활성이 비정상적으로 증가되었을 때는 오히려 인체 정상 조직을 파괴함으로써 rheumatoid arthritis를 비롯한 여러가지 염증성 질환을 야기시킨다고 알려져 있다. 항염증제로 작용하는데 있어서 prostaglandin 합성을 억제하는 작용 이외에 다른 작용 기전이 있는가 하는것은 대단히 흥미있는 연구 과제이었으므로 neutral protease 중의 하나인 cathepsin G와 이 염증반응에 직접적으로 관여하는지 알아보기 위하여 본 연구에서는 두 단계의 크로마토그라피를 거쳐 순수한 cathepsin G를 분리하고, 여러가지 비스테로이드성 항염증제를 이용하여 cathepsin G에 대한 억제 정도를 관찰하였다. 이중 sulindac, salicylate, phenylbutazone, oxyphenbutazone 그리고 salicyluric acid가 각각 4.3mM, 14.3mM, 6.5mM, 11mM, 15mM의 $IC_{50}$로써 cathepsin G의 활성도를 억제하였다. 따라서 NSAIDs의 항염증 작용 기전은 기존에 알려지고 있는 cyclooxygenase 억제에 따른 prostaglanndin 합성, 분비 억제 기전이외에 rheumatoid arthritis 부위에 직접적 원인으로 작용할 가능성이 있는 cathepsin G를 억제 함으로써 조직 파괴를 막는 역할을 하고 있을 가능성이 있는 것으로 사료된다. Human leukocyte cathepsin-Gs are active participant in the active phase of inflammations like rheumatoid arthritis, emphysema and glomerular injury. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for treatment of these inflammatory diseases. Mechanism of action of NSAIDs for treatment of inflammatory diseases, especially like rheumatoid arthritis, are known as the inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis. Inhibitions of the activities of human leukocyte cathepsin-Gs by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, however, were not same as the known pharmacological effects (inhibition of cyclooxygenase) of these drugs. Among them, especially, sulindac, salicylate, phenylbutazone, oxyphenbutazone, and salicyluric acid inhibited human leukocyte cathepsin-Gs effectively. $IC_{50}s$ of each drug were 4.3mM, 14.3mM, 6.5mM, 11mM and 15mM respectively. The drugs which have same chemical structure and same degree of inhibition effect on cyclooxygenase showed different degree or no effect on inhibition of cathepsin G. These inhibition effect might be, beside of inhibition of cyclooxygenase in the prostaglandin synthesis pathway, another benefitial antiinflammatory effect of NSAIDs by direct protection against tissue destruction in inflammatory diseases.

염증성 질환의 원인 인자중 하나로 알려진 사람 호중구 Cathepsin G를 두단계의 크로마토그라피를 거쳐 분리하였다. 이 순수 분리된 효소를 이용하여 토끼에서 항체를 In Vivo 합성하고 그 혈액으로부터 순수 항체를 분리하였다. NSAIDs 약제중 phenylbutazone, sulindac, oxyphenbutazone, salicilic acid등은 이 효소를 강력하게 억제하였으며 $IC_{50}$은 $0.3{\sim}0.8\;mM$ 이었다. 고려인삼의 지용성분획도 tetracycline, novobiosin, rifamycin이 Cathepsin G의 효소 활성도에 대해서 강력한 억제 작용을 나타내었으나 다른 항생제는 그 작용이 무시할 수 있을 정도였다. 그러나 tetracycline계열의 항생제의 경우 실제 치료 효과를 나타내는 혈중농도에서 강한 억제 작용을 보였다. 특히 항균 작용과 관계하는 tetracycline의 4번 위치의 N-dimethy radical을 제거한 tetracycline은 감염군의 약제 저항성을 피할 수 있을 것으로 생각되므로 만성 염증성질환의 장기 치료에 이용될 수 있는 새로운 약제로써 제시한다. Human neutrophil cathepsin-G, which has been known as one of the active enzymes causing inflammatory diseases, was purified by two steps procedure involving one size exclusion (Ultorogel AcA54) and one ion exchange (CM-Sephadex) chromatography. Purified HNCGs were cross-reacted with Anti-HNCathepsin-G antibodies which were radised in rabbits and purified by cathepsin-G labeled Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. HNCGs were effectively inhibited by NSAIDs including phenylbutazone, sulindac, oxyphenbutazone, salicylic acid and salicyluric acid. $IC_{50}_s$ of these drugs for inhibition of Cathepsin G were 0.3-0.8 mM. Other NSAIDs including aspirin showed little or no inhibition effect on the activity of Cathepsin G. These results strongly indicated that NSAIDs which showed inhibition effect on the activity of HNCGs possibly be at least a part of mechanism of action which might be related to direct inhibition of cathepsin G at the tissue destruction sites beside of their known mechanism of action as an anticyclo-oxygenase in treatment of inflammatory diseases. Lipid soluble component of Korean Red Ginseng which was known as an anti-inflammatory agent inhibited HNCGs strongly, but no other fractions did inhibited HNCGs. Antibiotics including novobiosin and rifamycin showed some inhibition effect on HNCGs, i. e.., $IC_{50}$ of these drugs were 2.6 mM and 1.5 mM respectively, and other antibiotics including penicillin G showed no or negligible inhibition effect on the activity of HNCGs. However. tetracyclines inhibited HNCGs very effectively at the concentration of therapeutic range. The inhibition effect of the activity of HNCGs by tetracycline are not related to the N-dimethyl radical on the 4 position of the tetracycline molecule. Furthermore, N-dedimethylated tetracyclines may have beneficial effect for long term treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases without developing any drug resistance to microorganisms.

Human neutrophil elastase (HNE, EC 3, 4 21, 11), a major causative factor in the induction of pulmonary emphysema, were purified by two steps of liquid chromatography. Purified elastases were cross-reacted with antibody to human neutrophil elastases. Methicillin and cefamandole, which are known as inhibitors of cell wall synthesis of microorganisms, could inhibit the activity of human neutrophil elastase up to 50% with 10mM of both agents and $IC_{50}$ of methicillin was 9.8 mM. Gentamicin, one of the aminoglycosides, also inhibits human neutrophil elastases up to 60% of original activity with 10 mM of this agent and $IC_{50}$ was 9.0 mM. We could demonstrate similar effects in oxytetracycline. 10 mM of oxytetracycline inhibited 95% of human neutrophil elastase and $IC_{50}$ was 0.3 mM. Overall, oxytetracycline, cefamandole and methicillin are strong inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase, and they could be a drug of cholice for the diseases which were known as pathogenesis related to elastase. We also suggest that the mechanism of action of these antibitics are different from the mechanism of antimicrobial effects like inhibition of both cell wall synthesis and protein synthesis. 사람 혈액속의 elastase와 관련된 질병에 대한 연구는 다양한 저해제의 개발을 동반해 왔으며, 최근 항생제도 그 관심대상이 되고 있다. 두 단계의 액체 크로마토그래피를 거쳐 얻은 고순도의 elastase에 12종의 항생제를 처리하였다. 세포벽합성 저해제로 알려져 있는 penicillin계와 cephalosporin계 항생제를 각각 3종씩 처리한 결과, methicillin과 cefamandole은 10mM 농도에서 elastase 활성을 50% 이상 저해하였지만, 나머지는 거의 10% 미만이었다. 단백질합성 저해제 중 oxytetracycline의 elastase에 대한 저해효과는 10mM 농도에서 95% 이상으로 매우 탁월하였으며 $(IC_{50}=0.3mM)$, gentamicin도 50% 이상 저해하였으나, 다른 aminoglycoside나 chloramphenicol은 역시 10%미만이었다. 실험해 본 항생제 가운데, oxytetracycline, cefamandole, methicillin, gentamicin 등은 elastase에 대한 강력한 저해제였으며, 그 작용기전은 항생제의 알려진 약리학적 기전과는 다른 차원의 모델임이 분명하였다.

Purification and Characterization of Human Neutrophil Elastase and Cathepsin G

사람의 중성구 elastase와 cathepsin G를 젤 여과법과 이온교환크로마토그라프에 의하여 분리하였다. 이들 두 효소는 각각 항체에 대한 특이한 면역반응을 보였다. Elastase의 분자량은 29K, 30K, 30.5K이며 cathepsin G의 분자량은 28.5K, 29K이었다. 이 두 효소들의 분자량보다 2 kilodalton 큰 분자들도 존재하나 이들 분자는 분자 내의 s-s 결합의 분해에 의한 SDS-PAGE상의 분자이동의 차이에서 생긴 현상으로 생각된다. 일가이온인 $Na^+$, $Li^+$, $K^+$ 및 $Cs^+$는 농도에 따른 elastase의 활성도에 영향을 주고 2가이온은 40 mM까지는 농도에 비례하여 활성도를 증가시키고 그 이후는 plateau에 도달하였다. lmM 미만의 DIFP, PMSF, ${\alpha}_1-PI$ 및 ${\alpha}_2-MG$은 사람 중성구 elastase의 활성도를 완전히 억제하였으나 같은 부류에 속하는 leupeptin은 별영향이 없었다. 이것으로 보아 elastase의 활성도 억제는 active site 이외의 다른 기전이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다. Human neutrophil elastase(HNE) and human neutrophil cathepsin G (HNCG) were purified by a two-step procedure involving gel filtration through Ultrogel AcA54 and ion-exchange chromatography through CM-sephadex C-25. The purified elastase and cathepsin G cross-reacted with anti-HNE antibody and anti-HNCG antibody respectively. Three elastases have molecular weights of 29,000, 30,000, and 30,500 determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Two cathepsin Gs have the molecular weights of 28,500 and 29,000. There was another group of elastases which showed molecular weights of 2000 dalton higher than the other group of elastase. The discrepancy or the diversity of molecular weights of HNE seems to be caused mainly by the disparity of intra-molecular disulfide bonds of HNE. Monovalent ions including $Na^+$, $Li^+$, $K^+$ and $Cs^+$ stimulated HNE by concentration dependency. Divalent ions also stimulated HNE very effectively at the concentration of less than 40 mM and then reached the plateau. HNE was completely inhibited by less than 1 mM of diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DIFP), phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), ${\alpha}_1$-protease inhibitor $({\alpha}_1-PI)$, and ${\alpha}_2$-macroglobulin$({\alpha}_2-MG)$ which are catagorized as general endoprotease inhibitor. But leupeptin, which is known as serine and thiol-protease inhibitor, was ineffective on inhibition of HNE.
