The fate of intratracheal 14C-guanidinated pancreatic elastase in hamster lung. 1977

P J Stone, and V Pereira, and D Biles, and G L Snider, and H M Kagan, and C Franzblau

Native pancreatic elastase and guanidinated elastase have similar in vitro and in vivo properties and produce emphysema of similar severity in hamsters. 14C-guanidinated pancreatic elastase (16,000 cpm/0.2 mg) was instilled into the trachea of anesthetized hamsters. Within 24 hours the radiolabel found in the lungs rapidly decreases to 12% of the original 16,000 cpm and to 1% after 96 hours. Most of the radiolabel and elastase activity found in the lungs can be removed by bronchopulmonary lavage up to 48 hours after installation. Although seemingly very small, there is a significant amount of radiolabel (1-2%) which cannot be removed from the lungs by extensive bronchopulmonary lavage.

D008168 Lung Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood. Lungs
D010196 Pancreatic Elastase A protease of broad specificity, obtained from dried pancreas. Molecular weight is approximately 25,000. The enzyme breaks down elastin, the specific protein of elastic fibers, and digests other proteins such as fibrin, hemoglobin, and albumin. EC 3.4.21.36.

D011656 Pulmonary Emphysema Enlargement of air spaces distal to the TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES where gas-exchange normally takes place. This is usually due to destruction of the alveolar wall. Pulmonary emphysema can be classified by the location and distribution of the lesions.
