METHODS : Levels of VEGF and ET 1 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and expression of neutral endopeptidase ( NEP , CD 10 ) , known to degrade ET 1 , was quantified by flow cytometric analysis after cell trypsinization . ^^^ Addition of a neutralizing anti CD 10 antibody to fibroblast cultures downregulated CD 10 expression at the cell surface without changing ET 1 levels in cell supernatants after 24 or 48 h . ^^^ This suggests that membrane bound NEP has minimal or no activity against secreted ET 1 . ^^^

Conversely , thiorphan , a specific inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase ( NEP ) , rather increased the levels of ET 1 secretion mainly after UVB irradiation . ^^^ Taken together , the results showed that normal human keratinocytes secrete and partly degrade ET 1 through ECE and NEP pathways and pointed out a differential regulation of ET 1 by UVB and UVA 1 radiations without any noticeable role for PGE2 . . ^^^

However , inhibitors of neutral endopeptidase ( thiorphan ) and matrix metalloproteases ( batimistat ) did not affect the conversion of big ET 1 to ET 1 . ^^^

Peptide bioavailability and potency can be regulated through hypoxic up and down regulation of synthesis or release , activation by converting enzymes ( ACE for AII and ECE for ET 1 ) , inactivation by neutral endopeptidase and proteases , or by interaction with nitric oxide ( NO ) . ^^^

However , there was a highly significant augmentation in the NEP inhibited segments , consistent with an inhibition of ET 1 degradation ( median difference , 16 . 8 ; 95 % CI , 23 . 5 , 10 . 4 ; P = . 002 , Wilcoxon ) . ^^^ ECE immunostaining was reduced in the ECE / NEP inhibited veins , although ET 1 staining was also present . ^^^ ET 1 expression was intense in the thickened neointimas of NEP inhibited veins , which also showed significant ECE staining . ^^^ Elevated levels of big ET 1 were measured in the ECE / NEP inhibited veins , consistent with reduced ECE activity . ^^^

Thiorphan ( 0 . 25 and 2 . 5 mg kg ( 1 ) ) did not affect the pressor responses to ET 1 ( 1 31 ) although its PIP effects were markedly reduced by the NEP inhibitor . ^^^ We suggest that , in order to raise MAP , ET 1 ( 1 31 ) requires conversion to ET 1 , predominantly by ECE and to a lesser extent neutral endopeptidase 24 . 11 , whereas the reverse holds true regarding its pharmacological effects in airways . . ^^^

Finally , using the neutral endopeptidase 24 . 11 ( NEP 24 . 11 ) inhibitor , thiorphan , we determined the involvement of this enzyme on ET 1 ( 1 31 ) effects . ^^^ We therefore suggest that NEP 24 . 11 in the pulmonary vasculature , is implicated in the cleavage of ET 1 ( 1 31 ) to produce ET 1 which will further act on both ET receptors . . ^^^

The present study examined the roles of endothelin converting enzyme ( ECE ) , neutral endopeptidase ( NEP ) and mast cell chymase as processors of the endothelin ( ET ) analogues ET 1 ( 1 21 ) , ET 1 ( 1 31 ) and big ET 1 in the trachea of allergic mice . ^^^ The NEP inhibitor CGS 24592 ( 10 microM ) inhibited contractions induced by ET 1 ( 1 31 ) ( 6 . 2 fold rightward shift ; P < 0 . 05 ) but not ET 1 ( 1 21 ) or big ET 1 . ^^^ If endogenous ET 1 ( 1 31 ) is formed within allergic airways , it is likely to undergo further conversion by NEP to more active products . . ^^^ Role of endothelin converting enzyme , chymase and neutral endopeptidase in the processing of big ET 1 , ET 1 ( 1 21 ) and ET 1 ( 1 31 ) in the trachea of allergic mice . ^^^

Additionally , by measuring the production of ET 1 ( 1 31 ) , we showed that a chymase like enzyme is involved in this process when ECE and NEP are inhibited by phosphoramidon . ^^^ Finally , we showed that NEP is the predominant enzymatic pathway involved in the cleavage of ET 1 ( 1 31 ) to a bioactive metabolite that will act on ET ( A ) receptors to induce contraction in the rabbit aorta . . ^^^

While ACE and ECE are respectively involved in the transformation of angiotensin 1 and Big ET into angiotensin 2 and ET 1 respectively , which possess vasoconstrictor and mitogenic properties , NEP is involved in the degradation of atrial natriuric factor ( ANF ) , which possesses vasorelaxant , diuretic / natriuretic and antihypertrophic properties . ^^^

The mRNA expressions of renin , angiotensin converting enzyme ( ACE ) , type 1 angiotensin 2 receptor ( AT1R ) , ET 1 , type A ET receptor ( ET ( A ) ) , and neutral endopeptidase ( NEP ) were determined in the thoracic aorta by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction . ^^^ The expression of ET 1 and ET ( A ) mRNA was increased , whereas that of NEP mRNA decreased . ^^^

While neutral endopeptidase ( NEP ) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 ( MMP 2 ) are able to process big ET 1 , inhibitors of NEP ( thiorphan ) and MMP ( batimistat ) did not affect ECE 1 activity . ^^^

Other enzymes , such as the neutral endopeptidase 24 11 , is curiously not only involved in the degradation and inactivation of ET 1 , but is also responsible for the final production of the peptide via the hydrolysis of ET 1 ( 1 31 ) . ^^^

Neutral endopeptidase 24 . 11 ( NEP ) is a cell surface aminopeptidase with a ubiquitous expression and is capable of degrading a number of bioactive peptides including ET 1 . ^^^ We showed that there was a significant decrease in cell proliferation and invasiveness with a reduction in the concentration of ET 1 in the conditioned medium on the NEP overexpression of NEP in ovarian carcinoma cells . ^^^ This evidence suggests that NEP functionally suppresses the progression of ovarian carcinoma and further study of this enzyme may reveal an effective way to target ET 1 for the treatment of this carcinoma . . ^^^ Neutral endopeptidase 24 . 11 ( NEP ) is a cell surface aminopeptidase with a ubiquitous expression and is capable of degrading a number of bioactive peptides including ET 1 . ^^^
