Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a major clinical disorder usually associated with cigarette smoking. A central feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is inflammation coexisting with an abnormal protease/anti-protease balance, leading to apoptosis and elastolysis. In anin vitro study of rat lung alveolar L2 cells, cigarette smoke extract (CSE) induced apoptotic cell death. Expo-sure of L2 cells to CSE at a concentration of resulted in a 50% increase of caspase-3 and matrix met-alloproteinase (MMP) activities. Specific inhibitors for caspases and MMPs attenuated the cytotoxicity of CSE. RT-PCR amplification identified VPAC2 receptors in L2 cells. . | Eur. J.

Specific inhibitors for caspases and MMPs attenuated the cytotoxicity of CSE. RT-PCR amplification identified VPAC2 receptors in L2 cells. A radioligand-binding assay with 125I-labeled vasoactive intestinal peptide VIP found high affinity and saturable 125I-labeled VIP-binding sites in L2 cells. VIP and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide PACAP27 were approximately equipotent for both VIP receptor binding and stimulation of cAMP production in L2 cells. Both neuropeptides at concentrations higher than 10 13 M produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of CSE-induced cell death in L2 cells. VIP at 10 7 M reduced CSE-stimulated MMP activity and caspase-3 activation. The present study has shown that VIP and PACAP27 significantly attenuate the cytotoxicity of CSE through the
