| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine whether 26S proteasome is detectable in human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and whether burn and inhalation injury is accompanied by changes in BALF proteasome content or activity. BALF was obtained on hospital admission from 28 patients with burn and inhalation injury (controls: 10 healthy volunteers). Proteasome concentrations were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and their native molecular mass was assessed by gel filtration. Proteasome peptidase activity was measured using a chymotryptic-like peptide substrate in combination with epoxomicin (specific proteasome inhibitor). BALF protein was increased in patients (P<.001) and correlated positively with the degree of inhalation injury. The 20S/26S proteasomes were detectable in all BALF by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Gel filtration confirmed the presence of intact 20S and 26S proteasome that was stable without soluble ATP/Mg. In all BALF chymotryptic-like activity was detectable and could be inhibited with epoxomicin by 60 to 70% (P<.01). Absolute amounts of 20S/26S proteasomes and proteasome activity were increased in patients (P<.001 for all). The relative BALF composition after injury was characterized by increased concentrations of 20S proteasome/mg protein (P=.0034 vs volunteers), decreased concentrations of 26S proteasome/mg protein (P=.041 vs volunteers), and reduced specific proteasome activity (P=.044 vs volunteers). The 26S proteasome per milligram and specific proteasome activity were even further reduced in patients who developed ventilator-associated pneumonia (P=.045 and P=.03 vs patients without ventilator-associated pneumonia). This study supports the novel concept that extracellular proteasomes could play a pathophysiological role in the injured lung and suggests that insufficient proteasome function may increase susceptibility for pulmonary complications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
