Killing of rat pulmonary artery endothelial cells by activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), as measured at 4 hours, is catalase sensitive, iron dependent, and unaffected by addition of protease inhibitors. If the time course for exposure of endothelial cells to activated PMNs is extended to 18 hours, progressive injury occurs. Endothelial cell injury resulting at 18 hours is partially inhibited by catalase and partially inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor. Together, these two inhibitors function synergistically to protect the cells from injury. Exposure of endothelial cells to reagent H2O2 and purified proteolytic enzymes (trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, and cathepsin G) mimics the effects of activated PMNs: H2O2 alone is cytotoxic with maximal killing achieved by 4 hours; proteolytic enzymes produce cytotoxicity only at high concentrations and only after prolonged incubation (longer than 8 hours); and, in combination, H2O2 and proteolytic enzymes act synergistically. These data provide compelling evidence that PMN-mediated injury of endothelial cells involves interaction between oxygen products and proteases.
