Abstract

Few therapeutic options are offered to treat inflammation and alveolar wall destruction in emphysema. The effect of recombinant human pre-elafin, an elastase inhibitor, was evaluated in porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE)-induced emphysema in C57BL/6 mice. In a first protocol, mice received a single instillation of pre-elafin (17.5 pmol/mouse) at 1 h post-PPE and were sacrificed up to 72 h post-PPE. A single instillation of pre-elafin significantly reduced PPE-induced neutrophil accumulation in lungs, as assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), by 51%, 71% and 67% at 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. In a second protocol, mice also received a single dose of PPE, but pre-elafin three times a week for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, pre-elafin significantly reduced the PPE-induced increase in BAL macrophage numbers, airspace dimensions and lung hysteresivity by 74%, 62% and 52%, respectively. Since G-CSF was previously shown to reduce emphysematous changes in mice, the BAL levels of this mediator were measured 6 h post-PPE in animals treated as described in the first protocol. Pre-elafin significantly increased G-CSF levels in PPE-exposed mice compared to sham- and PPE only-exposed animals. This suggests that the beneficial effects of pre-elafin could be mediated, at least in part, by its ability to increase G-CSF levels in the lung.
