Expression and spatial heterogeneity of dipeptidyl peptidases in endothelial cells of conduct vessels and capillaries

Abstract: Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV)/CD26 is by far the most extensively studied member of the prolyl oligopeptidase family of serine proteases. The discovery of the related enzymes DPP8 and DPP9 necessitates a (re-)evaluation of the DPPIV-like enzymatic activity in cells and organs. In this study, we aimed (1) to investigate the expression of the individual dipeptidyl peptidases in different types of endothelial cells (ECs) and (2) to reconsider published data in relation to our findings. Examination of DPP expres… Show more

“…In addition, DPP8 and DPP9 activity is approximately 10-fold lower than DPPIV activity in nonrenal rat and monkey tissues (64). DPPIV and DPP8 are more abundant than DPP9 protein in rat primary endothelial cells, however, about 60% of the total DPP enzyme activity is derived from DPP8/9 rather than DPPIV in these cells (65). DPP9 is the only DPPIV-like enzyme detectable by immunohistochemistry in human carotid artery endothelial cells, whereas DPPIV is the predominant DPPIV-like enzyme in ventricular microvasculature by in situ hybridization (65).…”

“…85 Within the heart, DPP-4 has been localized predominantly to endothelial cells. 86,87 DPP-4 exists in 2 molecular forms that display proteolytic activity: a membrane-spanning protein with a short intracellular tail and a circulating protein bereft of the intracellular and membrane-spanning regions. The biology of DPP-4 is complex, with both the membranespanning protein and the soluble circulating form exerting biological activities independent of the catalytic activity of the enzyme.…”

“…Although DPP4 is expressed on numerous cell types, including kidney, liver epithelial cells, and endothelial cells of ventricular microvasculature (34,38,40), T cells are believed to provide the majority of its circulating form (also know as soluble CD26) by partially shedding surface CD26 into the blood stream following proteolytic cleavage (38,41,42). Known DPP4 substrates include growth factors, chemokines, and peptide hormones such as glucagon-like peptide 1, which helps control blood sugar levels (38,(43)(44)(45).…”
