Activation of the plasma kallikrein-kinin system on human lung epithelial cells

Abstract: Activation of the tissue kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) plays a major inflammatory role in the lung, but the contribution of the plasma KKS remains unclear. Plasma KKS involves assembly and activation of high molecular weight kininogen (HK) and plasma prekallikrein (PPK) on cell surfaces, resulting in the liberation of the inflammatory peptide, bradykinin (BK), from HK by plasma kallikrein (PK). To this end, we determined the possible contribution of plasma KKS in BK formation using airway epithelium. The HK bi… Show more

“…Rabbit polyclonal anti‐A2, monoclonal anti‐S100‐A10, polyclonal anti‐Occludin, polyclonal anti‐Flotillin 1, and polyclonal anti‐uPA antibodies were from Abcam, Cambridge, MA (Chakraborty et al., 2012; Du et al., 2010; Yang et al., 2011). Mouse monoclonal anti‐uPAR and goat polyclonal anti‐CD71 were from R&D Systems Minneapolis, MN (Chakraborty et al., 2011; Vergiliana et al., 2010). Rabbit polyclonal anti‐uPAR and mouse anti‐rabbit conformation specific secondary antibodies linked to HRP were from Cell Signaling Technologies, Boston, MA.…”

“…Plasma kallikrein-kinin proteins have also been found on the surface and in the extracellular matrix of endothelial cells from line ECV304 [23], vascular smooth muscle cells [24], immortalized human EA.hy926 endothelial cells [25], lung epithelial cells [26] and endothelial cells from a line derived from rabbit aorta RAECs [27]. Little is known regarding the mechanisms of plasma prekallikrein interactions with cells.…”

“…This binding has been described on endothelial cells [2e4,6], neutrophils [7], platelets [8], astrocytes [9], vascular smooth muscle cells [10] and macrophages [11]. Just out of interest, plasma kallikrein-kinin system activation (including HK binding) has also been described in a range of epithelial cells (e.g., lung, gut and prostate epithelium) [12]. On the endothelial cell surface, some proteins have been found to contain HK binding sites; these include urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), cytokeratin 1 and receptor for the globular heads of complement component C1q (gC1qR) [13].…”
