Clearance of human native, proteinase-complexed, and proteolytically inactivated C1-inhibitor in rats

Abstract: C1-inhibitor is the only known inhibitor of the classical pathway of complement and the major inhibitor of the contact pathway of coagulation. Like other serine proteinase inhibitors, C1-inhibitor can exist in three conformations, ie, the native, the proteinase-complexed, and the proteolytically inactivated form. Here we studied the plasma elimination kinetics of these three forms of human C1-inhibitor in rats. The clearance of the complexed form of C1-inhibitor appeared to be the most rapid and depended in pa… Show more

“…The plasma clearance rates of the cleaved human and guinea pig inhibitors were intermediate between their intact and complexed forms. This is in agreement with the data previously reported by de Smet et al in rats [16]. This observation is not unique to the C1INH molecule.…”

“…As outlined, many studies indicate that the ligand binding site involved in the clearance of the serpin-protease complexes resides within the inhibitor. Although the data of Mast et al indicate that the protease does not play a role with most serpin complexes, the data here and that of de Smet et al [16] suggest a possible role for protease in C1INH clearance. In the data presented here, the catabolism of complexes with different proteases clearly differed, which suggests that the proteases themselves might be involved in the clearance of the C1INH-protease complexes.…”
