Inhibition, by lanthanides, of neutral proteinases secreted by human, rheumatoid synovium.

Fragments of human, rheumatoid synovium were maintained on organ culture for three days under serum-less conditions. Their conditioned media contained collagenolytic, gelatinolytic and caseinolytic activities, which were susceptible to inhibition by lanthanide ions. Of the four lanthanides tested, Sm3+ proved the best inhibitor of gelatinase and caseinase, while La3+ inhibited collagenase the most strongly. Inhibition of collagenase by La3+ was uncompetitive. A direct binding assay confirmed the greater association between collagen fibrils and collagenase in the presence of La3+. Ca2+ was not required for binding of the uninhibited enzyme to collagen, but acted to stabilize collagenase against thermoinactivation.
