Human neutrophil leukotriene A4(LTA4) hydrolase is a zinc-containing metalloproteinase with aminopeptidase activity and can be inhibited by some metalloproteinase inhibitors. Human airway epithelial cells also contain an LTA4hydrolase enzyme that has some novel properties, suggesting that this enzyme may be functionally and structurally unique. Thus, we questioned whether the epithelial enzyme could also be inhibited by metalloproteinase inhibitors. Transformed human airway epithelial cells were studied either intact or disrupted. Of the metalloproteinase inhibitors examined, only captopril, bestatin, and fosinoprilat had appreciable inhibitory activity for LTA4hydrolase in disrupted epithelial cells. Concentration-inhibition curves to captopril, bestatin, and fosinoprilat revealed ic50values of 430 μM, 7 μM, and 1 mM, respectively, for disrupted-cell LTA4hydrolase activity. In contrast to its effects on neutrophils, 1,10-O-phenanthroline had no significant effect on disrupted epithelial cell hydrolase activity and had only minimal effects when this activity was partially purified (179-fold). LTA4hydrolase concentration-inhibition curves examined in intact cells with captopril, bestatin, and 1,10-O-phenanthroline revealed ic50values of 63, 70, and 920 μM, respectively. Aminopeptidase activity in disrupted epithelial cells was inhibited by amastatin, bestatin, and 1,10-O-phenanthroline (ic50values of 500 nM, 1 μM, and 17 μM, respectively), but not by captopril at the highest concentration tested, 10 mM. These findings are in contrast to prior studies in neutrophils. When neutrophils were stimulated with A23187 after treatment with captopril, transcellular synthesis of LTB4was inhibited more effectively than direct synthesis of leukotriene B4(LTB4) (43.8 ± 2.5 vs 18.5 ± 4.7%; N = 8, P < 0.02). We conclude that LTA4hydrolase activity of human airway epithelial cells is inhibited by some metalloproteinase inhibitors, but that the profile of inhibition is distinct from that for the neutrophil enzyme. These data provide additional information that LTA4hydrolase in the epithelial cell is a novel enzyme, distinct from that found in the neutrophil.
