INTEODUCTION
The occurrence of emphysema of the lung has been associated with
cigarette smoking (I, 2), although there is evidence that the susceptibility
to emphysema is inherited (1). During about: the last twelve years
stronE evidence has accumulated that a deficiency in the blood serum
level of the enzyme al-antltrypsin (el-AT) pre-disposes people to emphysema,
and thac it is this deficiency which can be inherited. Consequently,
for individuals wiuh such a pre-d£sposition, smoking could be hazardous
(2). It is obviously, in the interests of the tobacco industry to
• ppreclate the large vol~me of research that is belnE carried out on
of-AT, on the consequences of its deficiency, and on the genetics of
its transm/ssion. In the lest two years, for example, at least 59
papers have been published on =I-AT.
The present report reviews the available llt•rature on =l-AT.
1. Types of Emph_ysema
Zn emphysema the lungs have lost much of chelr recoil capacity, and
the force available to expel air ouc of the lungs is reduced (3).
In addition, the airways inside the lung, having lost the support of
the lung tissue, are narrower than normal at any given lung volume
and offer a greater resistance to air flow. The volume of the lungs is
often greatly increased, and a greater volume of air remains ~ them
which cannot be exhaled. Emphysema is caused by desuructlon of alveolar
tissue, which leads to emphysematous lungs having much enlarged air
cavities, fewer alveolar walls than normal, within which the network
• of capillary blood vessels in which the exchange of respiratory gases
occurs is reduced. Emphysama can affect both Lungs, or part of • lung,

or some regions of both lungs. The affected lungs of can do not collapse,
as fs usuaL, when the thorax is opened during autopsy, 7et the lunS
itself is not stiff but soft. The air does not come ouC of the lungs
for reasons which are not fully understood.
There are two main types of emphysema: centrilobular (or cencrlaclnar)
emphysema, involving the central portion of the secondary lobule of
the lung*, and panlobular (or panacinar) emphysema, involving all lobules
of the lung. However, medical opinion is divided as to whether these
two types are distinct diseases which affect different parts of individual
lung lobules, or whether the only difference is the lobule affected,
with no differences in onset, nature and duration of symptoms etc. (A).
Alternative classifications of emphysema on the basis of the distribution
and form of the enlargements ~rLChin the lung have also been proposed (5).
External factors such as exposure Co coal and other dusts, and
other pollutants, including those present in ciKareCte smoke, are considered
by ~hacchinson (2), for example, co be important factors in the development
of both types of emphysema. There ia also an apparently distinct clinical
Kroup o£ people with emphysema who have a deficiency of el-AT in their
blood serum, their el-AT levels being 10-20Z of that of the majority of
the population (2). Furthermore, in these patients there is a strong
tendency for the disease to have occurred in other members of the family,
and for the lower zones of the lungs co be the most severely affected,
and the main lesions generally have the features of panlobular emphysema.
In emphysematous subjects wlCh normal el-AT levels, the lesions are
found in the upper zones of the lunK in over half the cases. Wlth el-AT

deficient patients, the onset of emphysema is usually between aaes 30
and 40 years) compared to beL~een 60 and 70 years for patients ~h
normal el-AT levels (6). The course of deterioration of the lung function
is usually more rapid than in patients with normal el-AT levels. Apart
from these d~fferences) the broad similarities between the two groups of
panlents sugaest that the biochemical and patholoSlcal processes which
are responsible for emphysema have muuh in common, whether =l-AT is
presenu in normal quantities or non. There is also a predominance of
males who develop e.~physela) both with deficient and normal uI-AT levels.
2. a 1-anti~r~sin
Proteases (i.e. protein-degrading enzymes) play an important part
in various biochemical processes. Cernain proteins can inhibit pronease
activity by combinin~ with the enzyme and inactivating it. The capacity
of human blood serum to inhibit the enzymatic activiey of sc~e proteases
has been known for almost eighty years (6). About 9Or of the serum's
antlprotease activity derives from a &lycoprotein which forms most of
the blood's =I sl°bulin" This substance is called a1-antitrypsin because
its activity is usually quantified by measurement of its capacity to
inhibit trypsin. Much of the remainder of the serum's inhibitory
activity is due to a2-macroalobulin. Both this and at-AT ere active
aaainst a number of proteases, includin8 trypsin) chymotrypsin) and
elas~ase (2, 7). The reactions with trypsin and =hymotryps£n are
apparently stoichic~etric (7).
=I-&T is produced by the liver (8) and found in blood, semen,
cervical mucus and other body fluids (9). It is a Elycoprorein with a
carbohydrate portion of about 12~ containing galactoae, mannose, aceeyl

hexosau~ne, sialic acid and fructose (6). The amino acid composition
shows • high content of •8p•rtic acid (9.75X), glutamic acid (12.9Z) and
leuclne (9.9Z). Cysteine is noc found, suggesting that at-AT does not
contain disulphide bridges. Values for th• molecular v•LKht of =l-AT
of between A5,000 and 54,000 have been quoted (7, 10-13). Xt has b••n
isolated in pure form from human serum (13), and its physical properties
suggest chat iC has a sinai• polypeptide chain. The amino acid sequence

=l-AT readily forms polymers and higher 8g@regates when exposed to
denatur~K •gents.
Its half-llfe in both normal and QI-AT deficient subjects has been
estimated to b• approximately four to six days (1A, 15).
A con~an£ent and widely used method for the determinatlon of the
concentration of =I-AT in serum in the pr•senc• of other £nhibitors is
radial /~n~nod~fusion (16). In this mJehod, • specific antistrum is
incorporated /nto an as•rose Kel, samples axe appl£ed in wells, and the
area of the circular inmunoprecipi~aut is proportional to the concentration
of antisen present. With this method the concentration of •l-AT in

_I
normal serum lies between 2.0 and 2.5 g £ (6, 15, 17) and tbls range
satisfactorily accounts for the observed tTypsin £nhib£tion acCiv£L'y
of serum if the reaction between trypsin and el-AT is stolchlometric
(18). About 85-95X of people have this level of =l-AT, the exact
proportion depending on the racial origin of the population (I9). The
remainder of the population have various lower levels of =I-AT. The
=l-AT concentration in blood can also be elevated by up to 5OZ under
some condi=ions, e.g. during pregnancy and £n women .king oral
contraceptives (6).
3. Genetic Transmission of el-AT Deficiency
3.1 Early Studies
Tt was first reported in 1963 that some individuals have very low
levels of =l-AT in their serum, approximately 10-20Z of normal (20).
Subsequent studies suggested that the deficiency is inherited (21-24).
All the available studies showed that when one parent has a low level
and the other a normal level of =I-AT, all nhelr children have intermed£ate
concentrations. Lf one parent has an intermediate and the other a
normal concentration, approximately half ~he children have a normal
concentration, and the other half have an intermediate concentration.
This r.annot be explained by Mendelian genetics with one recessive and
one dominant gate, since only normal individuals (containing either
t~o dominant genes, or one dominant and one recessive gate) and deficient
individuals (containin8 two recessive Series) would be observed. It was
postulated that there were t~o codominant Kenes, with each sane resulting
in =l-AT appearing in serum independently of the other. One sane
contrlbutee about 50Z of the total normal el-AT concentration, and the
mmmm~

other about 1OZ. The genetic transmission is then in simple Mendelian
fashion. Thus individuals deficient in =l-AT have t~0o genes, each
giving 10~ or a total of 20~ of the normal el-AT concentration. Normal
individuals have two genes each concrlbuting 5OZ to glve a total of lOOK
of the normal =l-AT level. Individuals with intermediate levels of
=I-AT are heterozygotes for the gene that gives 5OZ and the Eene that
gives lot, Eiving them a tocai level of 6OZ of the normal =~-AT
concentration. Thus the theory of codoe~nant inheritance offered an
explanation of the observe<l Or/modal distribution of =I-AT concentrations
in sere ~n families where al-&T dtficiency was found.
Within the framework of the above theory of inheritance, the
homozyEous deficient subjects can be readily distinEuished by their
=I-AT levels. However, overlap in =I-AT concenUration values does
occur, and the serum level of =I-AT fluctuates in response to acute
or chronic infection, cancer, pregnancy and estrogenic hormones.
C=nsequenCly, .heterozygotes cannot always be d£stinEulshed from normal
subjects. Further invascigatlons on serum =l-AT has shown the blochemical
features of =l-AT levels are more complex, and that the transmission Is
more involved than the simple P~endellan inheritance schee outlined
above.
3.2 Elec~Tophores£s of Human 5e~
ElecCrophoresis of human serum has shown that several biochemical
forms or variants of =I-AT exist, each with its own electrophoret£c
mob£1ity. In 1965, Laurel1 (25) reported chat the =I-AT of homozyaotes
for the deficiency Eene differed in elacnrophoretlc mobillty from
chat of individuals with normal =I-AT levels (h~zyEoces for the
normal Edna). It was not clear if these results indicated a structural

difference in the =x-AT from deficient and normal subjects, or if they
were due ~o interaction with some unknown substance. Furthermore, the
low resolution of the Lu~unoelectrophoresis technique used did not
distinguish two components of •I-AT in the serum of heteroryEotes (with
intermediate levels of =l-AT).
However, dlsconcinuous starch 8el eleccropboresls of serum aC an
acidic pH (4.95) made this dlscinccion possible (26). Under these
conditions, the el-AT zone is between that of the orosmucoid and albumin
zones, and the aI-&T of most subjects gives rise Co • complex pattern
of up to eight zones (27,. 28). There are t~o major bands that are
usually recognized after staining the gel with smldo black. Two or
more minor bands are also present, but cannot always be seen after this
staining procedure (6). In order to define these weaker bands more
clearly, and quantify them, antigen-antibody crossed electrophoresis
has been used (29, 30), In this technique, after starch Eel electrophoresis
a longitudinal scrip of starch is cut out and placed in an •Earose S•I
containinS antibody Co el-AT. A second elecCrophoresls is thee performed
at right angles to the direction of the first. As the ~I-AT migrates
into the gel it prec£pltates with the antibody, resultin$ in peaks wb/ch
can be stained for ident£flcation.
Such methods have led to the detection of several phenotypes* of
=l-AT. In all cases the complex starch gel/antigen-antibody crossed

eleccrophoresis pattern o£ an individual appears to be the sum of two
components, one £ro~ each parent. A @enecic model has been proposed,
which is described in the next section, together ~r~th the ~nterpretation
of the electropherograms.
3.3 .The Pi S~,stem~ and its Genetics
For the system of inherited =I-AT phenotypas, the term "?i system"
(31) ~s used (Pi standing £or protease inhibitor). The indlv~dual
phenotypes can be explained by assuming thaC there are several codonL~nant
genes which are all alleles, i.e. they ell occupy the same position
(locus) of the chromosome (26, 28, 31-34). The allele products vary
in several respects: the electrophoratlc mobility, the distrlbution o£
GI-AT within the eight zones in the electropherogrem, the total el-AT
concentration in serum, or a combination oF t~o or three of these
characteristics (28). So Far 19 alleles, most oF them vet-y rare, have
been identified, vith 190 possible combinations, o£ which only 36 have
been recosnised (35, 36). The most common, or normal, allele is
called the Fi H allele, it has a medium electrophoretic mobility, and
contributes 5OX oF the total normal ~I-&T concentration to the genoese.
The Pi Z allele has the slowest elactrophoretic mobility, and contributes
1OZ of the total normal Q1-AT concentration to the 8enotype. The P£ M
and Pi Z Series are the "normal" and "deF£c£ent" genes referred Co in
Section 3.1 above.
The terminology in nm-lng the alleles is based on the electrophoretlc
mobility oF Chair allele products. The allele Pi F has Fast mobility,
Pi M has medium ~obility, Pi S has slow mobili~y, and ?i Z has the
slc~west mobility. The position of the letters in the alphabet indicates

the relative mobility of the allele product (31). This nomenclature
has been aKreed at the First International =l-AT Pi System Workshop,
held in 197A (37).
A simplified drawing of the major zones in the el-AT acid starch
gel electropherogram of some of the Pi phenotypes is shown in Figure I.
The relative mobilicies and protein contents of the zones are indicated.
The principal of antigen-antlbody electrophoresls is also indicated in
Figure 2 for the major =I-AT zones of the Fi MZ phenotype.
The mechanism that leads to the multiplicity of bands on acid
starch geI and crossed antigen-antibody electrophoresis is unknown.
Since the genetic date obtained to date suKKests that =I-AT is determined
by a single chromosome locus with multiple alleles, there should be
no more than two different allelic types of el-AT in the serum of a given
individual. If the various electrophoretic species represent different
structural el-AT molecules controlled by different alleles, it would
sugKest the existence of several Kenetlc loci. Musianl and Tomasi (13)
have pointed out Chat it is possible that several closely linked loci
exist in whlch crossing over and recombination events are very rare
and have not, therefore, been observed in the genetic analyses so far
performed. However, a more straightforward explanation of the multipllcity
of the electrophoretic bands Can be put forward. This is silply that the
different types of allelic at-AT undergo various asgresation, de-iBidation,
or buffer interaction reactions on acid starch eel electrophoresis (15).
The structural variations of the various types of allellc aI-AT
probably lle in the carbohydrate part of ~he molecules. Although the
glycoprotein nature of =I-AT has been confirmed in several studies, no

two studies have obtained similar values for the carbohydrate con~ent
(7, 45), suggesting that the b~ochemlcal variations lie in this part
of the molecule. Furthermore, Bell and Carrell (47) have shown that
in dear gel elecnrophoresis at pH 8.6 the mobility of =l-AT from a
Pi M~4 individual fell to that characteristic of Pi ZZ =l-AT when the
sialic acid content of the =l-AT was partially rlmoved (by tined digestion
wLth neursminidase). More significantly, electrophoresls in acid
starch gel of the aial£c acid-deflcient Pi ~ el-AT gave an exact
reproduction of the Pi ZZ pattern both in mobility and proportion of
protein in the peaks. The different appearances of Pi I~4 and Pi ZZ
uI-AT thus apparently have their origin in the partial loss of sialic
acid in the Pi ZZ el-AT.
The mechanism that leads to a lower concentration of serum =I-AT
in genetically deficient individuals is unknown. The most likely
explanation is that the structural mutation that leads to the different
electrophoretic mobilities of the different genotypes also leads to
different synthetic rates of =I-AT (6, 15). However, the possibility
of different elimination rates of the structurally different =I-AT
molecules from the different genotypas has not been excluded, although
it has been shown that the half-life time of radioactively labelled
el-AT in the circulating blood is about 4-6 days in Pi MM, MZ, and ZZ
phenotypes (14, 48). The response of individuals who differ in their
=I--AT phenotype to an injection of typhoid vaccine supports the
hypothesis that. the Pi Z Eene governs the synthesis of =~-AT at a
slower rate than the Pi M sane. Serum =l-AT has been measured for
about three weeks in several people following an injection of typhoid

vaccine. Pi IdH and Pi HZ phenotypes both temporarily double their
initial el-AT levels within 3 or 4 days, while Pi ZZ phenocypes show
virtually no thanes in their el-AT concentration (49).
The Pi Z allele is the "deficiency" sane referred to in Section 3.1
above, contributing about IOZ of the total normal (Pi ~) el-AT level to
the genotype. It has been detected in the followinK combinm~ions: FZ,
IZ, MZ, SZ, end XZ (28), all of which produce phenotypes with ~ow =l-AT
levels. In addition the Pi P, Pi S, and Pi W alleles are also associated
wlnh lower el-AT levels (19, 35), contributing about 30~ of the no~al normal
(Pi MM) =I-AT level to the genotype. The approximate at-AT concentration,
expressed as a percentage of Ehe concentration for the Pi P24 Kenotype
(2.12 ± 0.32 g £-I), associated with various geno~ypes (2, 6, 15, 27) is:

listed have been selected for large numbers of subjects and/or h~gh
frequency of variants. The frequencles of Pi phenoCypes observed in the
studies in references 38, A1 and A2 are compat£ble with those predicted
by a Hardy-Welnberg equilibrium, givlng support to the theory of codouL~nant
inheritance of the Pi types (28). Further support for the cheor7 is
obtained from studies on a large number of families with a high number
of children, where it was found that the distr£bution of P£ phenocypes
in such children was close to that expected for codominant inheritance
(28). Further information has also omerEed from population and family
studies (28). The frequencies of variants are about the same for
both sexes, and several variants have been transmitted from father
Co son. These facts exclude the possibilities of X- and Y- linked
Pi genes.
Thus moat people (75-2OOZ) are Pi }~/ (Table I). The Pi M allele
appears to be the "normal" allele in eli tested populations, and
is probably the orig£nal allele from which all ochers have been derived
by mutation (19). The differins number of variants found in the
various population samples is remarkable. Althouzh the size of the
samples are not the same for all populations and often relac£vely
small, there appears to be a tendency for Central European populations
Co possess a larzer number of Pi phano~ypas than Chose from Asia,
Africa, and the Sub-Arctic area.
The 8ene frequencies of the Pi alleles can be determ~ed from
the data in Table I. The Pi M a11ale has a frequency between 0.86 and
0.99 and is always the most common. In the study where 2830 Norwesian
subjects were screened (38), the frequencies of the Pi S, P£ Z, and

P£ ~ alleles were 0.023, 0.016 and 0.013 respectively. It is interesting
that in the group of Spaniards studies (&l) the Pi S frequency was very
high at 0.112, whereas the frequencies of the other alleles were similar
to those in the Norwegian group. Among Lapps and Finns the Pi S allele
is almost absent, and in the Monsoloid, Korean end Indian populations
(Table 1) the Pi S allele was not found at all. The available dana is
insufficient to speculane whether these dlfferences in Eerie frequencies
in the various populations are due no selecnion or drift.
More recently, evidence has accumulaned for the existence of a
Eerie which produces no el-AT at a11. In 1973 Talamo et al. (43)
reported the case of a 24 year old man in whose serum no Ul-AT could
be detected us~ng several analytical methods, and in which no =l-aT
bands were found by acid starch gel and crossed antlgen-antlbody
electrophoresis. ~t was postulated that the man was a homozygote for
a null gene that produced no ~I-AT, i.e. his genotype was Pi --.
Studies of the man's family indicated that both his parents, his
matel-n~l grandmother, two of his three sisters, and his two children
had intermediate concentrations of uI-AT in their sere which had
electrophoresis mobilities similar to that of Pi MH phenotypes,
i.e. they were probably all Eenotype Pi M-. Further evidence has
also been reported for the existence of Eenotypes Pi M-, Pi Z-, and
Pi S- (40, 44-46). Because of the difficulty ~n ~nferr~ng the presence
of the Pi - gene, it has been agreed internationally (37) r/mr
individuals will only be called phenotype Pi ~ only if there is
evidence from a famLily study of homozy$osity; the nomenclature for
suspected homozygous phenotypes when the presence of the Pi - allele
has not been ruled out ~rlll be Pi M.

4. =I-AT DeficlencTp Pulmonary Emphysemae and Cilarette Smoking
The most striking finding in Pi ZZ phenotypes, whose serum of-AT
concentration is only 10-20Z that of the normal Pi MM phenotype, is their
high susceptibility to develop emphysema, at least fifteen times higher
than the general population (e.g. 2, 3, 6, 15, 21, 22 and 45). Presumably
the other phenoeypes that have such low levels of •I-AT •re •leo
particularly susceptible to emphysema, but the numbers detected are
very small: the one recorded case of • Pi -- phenotype and no aI-AT
had severe emphysema at 24 years old (43), the one recorded case of a
Pi Z- pbenotype with 5Z of the normal =l-AT level did not have emphysema
at 41 years of age (40).
Whether phenotypes with intermediate levels of at-AT (in particular
the heterozygotes Pi MZ and MS, who together make up to about IOZ of a
normal population) are also more liable to emphysema r~ins extremely
controversial. Several studies have concluded that heterozygote Pi
phenotypes MZ and MS are more susceptible to emphysema than the common
Pi M phenotypes (34, 50-56), while other studies have concluded that
they are not (22, 24, 40, 57-61). It has 81so been suggested that
heterozygous Pi MZ and MS pbenotypes are mainly associated with
type B chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (primarily bronchitic),
whereas homozygote Pi ZZ phenotypes ere largely associated with type &
chromic obstructive pulmonary diseases (primarily emphyse~atous) (62).
Huch of the erguaant lies in the lack of • universally agreed diagnostlc
crlteria for emphysema (2), in differences in the general desizn of
~he studies, and in differences in subject and/or patient selection.
The debate will undoubtedly continue, but it is probably reasonable to

conclude that heterozygous Pi phenotypes HZ and HS are not partlcularly
prone to severe emphysema. However, it has been claLmed chat heterozygoces
vho are also exposed to an externaI cause of emphysema, e.g. those who
smoke or work in certain polluted environments, could be more susceptible
Co emphysema than the col~on Pi 14 phe~otype (2, 94).
It is hOE specifically known how el-aT deficiency predisposes an
individual to mnphysema, although evidence for a generalised mechanism
has accumulated in recent years. Clearly not all =l-AT deficient individuals
acquire emphysema, nor is the disease present initially but develops
during the lifet~ne of the person. In blood, the leucocytes release
leucoproteases to protect the body against invading foreiKn materLal by
degrading the foreign material. These power£ul enzymes can also act on
the tissues of the body, and the ant£protease activity of serum protects
the tissues by inactivating excess leucoproteases. Since about 90Z o£
the blood serum's antiprotease activity is due to =I-AT, which does
directly ~thibic the action of leucoproteases (63), it has been suKsested
(2Z, 63) that the release of laucoproteases could be responsible for the
development of pulmonary emphysema in =I-AT deficient subjects. Zn
indlviduals with normal of-AT levels, the proteases that leak into the
in~erstlt/~1 spaces of the lun~ are rap£dty inactivated by the el-ATtend
proteolysls of the alveolar tissue is prevented. When there is a
de£1ciency in the level of ~I-AT" the available inhibltory activity is
easily overwhelmed, and digestion of the lung tissue occurs with the
pathological appearance of pulmonary emphysema. The leucoproteases are
produced in the lyososo~al granules of the leucocytes, and consist of a
potent elsstase* (64) and collagenase (65). It has been demonstrated
• rThe lysosomal elastase has different properties from porcine pazzcreatlc
elastase - lysosomal elastase is less susceptible to the action of serum
inhibitor, and is more active at pH 7.0, than the latter.

that lysosomal extracts can damage the vascular basement membrane (66),
which is significant since lesions in the pulmonary capillaries are one
of the early features of emphysema (57, 67, 68). Furthermore, since the
blood flow per unit voIuma of lung tissue is considerably greater in the
lower zones of the luns than in the upper zones, the release of leucoproteases
in a -AT deficient individuals could account for the predominance of the 1
disease in the lower zones of the lung in these individuals (57).
The alveolar macrophages play a major part in the defence of the
lung against inhaled toxic agents, by releasing lysosomal enzymes.
A~ain, as in the case of the leucoproteases, the macrophage proteases
can damage the lung itself. Extracts from the macrophage cells also
contain an elastolytic enzyme which has only about IOZ of the activity
of leucocyte elastase (69), but is much less zasdily inhibited by
a]-A~ and a2-macroglobulin than is the leucocyte elaJtase (70). It
has been suggested (70) that the macrophage elastase ~ay play a part
/~ the degradation of lung elascin in emphysema, particularly in cases
with normal al-~T levels.
Emphysema has been produced artificially in dogs by exposing them
to an aerosol containing leucocyte elastase (71), in mice by exposure
to human alveolar macrophage extract (72), end in other an/mals by
£nCratracheal appl£catlon of the enzyme pepsin* (73). Thus, although
the production of emphysema in the animals required relatively large
doses of the enzymes, there is direct evidence for the causal relation
between the enzyme and emphysema (71-73).
*This enzyme is not found in human serum, and has no elastolytic properties.

Woodcock et el. (74) have published data suggesting that (:he
level of el-AT in arterial blood is lower then that in venous blood
in subjects suffering from chronic airways obstruction and pulmonary
infections. They suggest that the immunological property of =l-A~ is
altered as it passes through the lungs, perhaps by attachment of the
el-AT to proteases, thereby causing an apparent venoarterial difference
in concentration. However, their findings have been contradicted by
~acer studies (75, 76), where no significant venoarnerlal difference
in el-AT levels or serum trypsin inhibitory c~apacity was observed in
most patients with chronic airways obsuructlon. It is non possible no
assess the significance of these controversial findings to the mechanism
of emphysema.
Exposure to certain substances hastens the onset of emphysema.
Ni~osan dioxide is believed to be such a substance, and it has b~n
shown chat nitrogen dioxide promotes the release of proteases wiChln
the lung (e.g. 77). Chronic industrial cadmium poison£ns is known
to be associated with imphyslma (2). Cadmium ions produce • substantial
reduction in the oxygen uptake of alveolar macrophales and the inhibition
of some enzyme systems (78), and reduce the concentration and trypsin
inhlbitory capacity of =l-AT when added to blood plasma in vitro (79).
Both nitrogen d£oxide and cadmium (80) are present in cigarette smoke.
Cigarette smoke produces marked changes in the alveolar macrophages
of both human and animal lungs. ~n cans, the degradaclve capaclcy of
free living macrophages ob~alned from excised lungs to various lysosomal
enzymes increased markedly after only four days exposure of the rats to
cigarette smoke (81). A comparison of the alveolar macrophages obtained

£rom healthy smokers and non-smokers by pulmonar7 lavage (82-84) has
shown that smokers have many more macrophages than uon-smokerss and the
smokers' macrophages had a greater size and number of lysosomal bodies
than those o£ the non-smokers.
Thus the results of the above studies suKKest that ciKarette smoke
produces elutnges which are believed to precede emphysema, and that it
contains substances which are independently associated with emphysm-=.
In fact, patients with emphysema vho have never smoked are rare, and in
Pi phenotypes ZZ the available evidence suKKests that smoklns hastens
the onset of the disease (2). Tt ~uld appear thac smokln8 &cts as a
"trigger" ~or emphysema, parc£cularly in Yi ZZ phenotypes vho are
pre-disposed to the disease.
5. a~-A~ De£icienc7 and Diseases of the Liver

o£ cases o£ el-AT def£c4ency among • SToup o£ ch£1dren ~r~Ch e£rrhosis

as yell as llver disease in adult llfe, both cirrhosls and hepatoma

whether hetarozygotes ~-~th intermediate levels of al-AT (Pi HZ and HS)

have a detectable m~croscopic abnormaZity - the presence of deposits
within parenchymal liver cells (15, 36, 86, 88). These are observed
in individuals wlUh or without liver disease, and in several phenotypes
containing the Fi Z lena, but never in phenotypes without the Pi Z
gene. These deposits are globules wlnhin the cynoplesm of a variable
number of hepanocynes, roughly spherical or oval in shape and 0.5-40 wm
in diameter. There is ample evidence from seudles reviewed in references
36 and 86 that the slobules are almost cer~alnly accumulations of
=I-AT - i.e. that the material in the globules represents the missing
serum = I-AT.
It is not known why these inclusions occur. ~r may be that ~I--AT
synthesised under nhe control of the Pi Z gene can only be released
from the liver cell at a reduced rate because of its structural
characteristics. Alternatlvely, a complex of Pi Z el-AT with a
protease is formed bun cannot leave the rough endoplasmic reticulum
(an intracellular structure believed no be • site of synthesis of the
c~rbohydrate portion of glycoprotelns). The synthesis of a slycoprotein
like =I-AT includes two steps: synthesis of the polypeptide chain
followed by addition of carbohydrates to the chain (91). Since =I-AT
from Pi ZZ phenotypes has less sialic acid than Ul-AT from Pi
phenotypes (47), it would appear that, in the presence of the Pi Z
Kene, carbohydrates are defectlvely added to the polypeptide chain
£n the synthesis of aI-ATo Modification of the carbohydrate moiety
could lead to the intracellular accumulation of Q1-AT; a small diffusion
of el-AT out of the cell would lead to a low concentrat£on of the
protein in the serum.

There is no obvious relaclonshlp between accunnalacion of aI-AT
within the hepatocytes and hepatic damage. Moreover, it is not
understood vhy the decreased aI-AT lerum concentration may lead to
llver disease, although Gans (92) has suggested a mechanism sim/lar
to ~he emphysema mechanism, viz proteases from leucocytes o~ Kupffer
=ells in the liver could be responsible for hepatocellular ~mmge when
the seru~ =I-&T concanuration is low. Others have proposed chat an
aggressive agent, such as uhe hepanltls-B (Australia) antigen could
be responsible for cellular damage in hepatocytes "sensitised" by the
serum =l-AT deficiency (g3). The tanrer hyponhesis has little support,
since the hepatitis-B annigen has not been found in Ehe serum of
aI-~T deficient panients with neonatal hepatitis (86, 88).
