Transcriptional and posttranscriptional modulation of human neutrophil elastase gene expression.
Human neutrophil elastase (NE), a 29-Kd potent serine protease stored in azurophilic granules of mature neutrophils, is coded for by the NE gene, a single copy gene with 5 exons spanning a 6-kb segment of chromosome 11 at q14. With the knowledge that the NE gene expression is limited to early myeloid cell differentiation, mechanisms modulating expression of the NE gene were evaluated in the HL-...
متن کاملNeutrophil elastase in bronchiectasis
The role of neutrophil elastase (NE) is poorly understood in bronchiectasis because of the lack of preclinical data and so most of the assumptions made about NE inhibitor potential benefit is based on data from CF. In this context, NE seems to be a predictor of long-term clinical outcomes and a possible target of treatment. In order to better evaluate the role of NE in bronchiectasis, a systema...
متن کاملEffects of Neutrophil Elastase
A bstract. The effects of neutrophil elastase on endothelial prostacyclin (PGI2) production, nucleotide release, and responsiveness to vasoactive agents were compared with the effects of cathepsin G (the other major neutral protease of neutrophils), pancreatic elastase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and thrombin. PGI2 production by pig aortic endothelial cells cultured on microcarrier beads and perfus...
متن کاملRegulation of neutrophil apoptosis by modulation of PKB/Akt activation.
The serine/threonine kinase, Akt, also known as PKB (Protein Kinase B) is one important signal transduction pathway that mediates the delay of neutrophil apoptosis caused by inflammatory mediators. Proteins controlled by the PKB/Akt pathway have been reported to prevent or reverse apoptotic-signaling pathways and regulate cell survival. In this review we discuss the role of PKB/Akt activation i...
متن کاملCrystallization of human neutrophil elastase.
Human neutrophil elastase was inactivated by methoxysuccinyl-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Pro-L-Ala-chloromethane. The modified enzyme was crystallized from 40 mM ammonium phosphate, pH 7.0 in the hexagonal space group P6(3) with unit cell parameters a = 74.53 A, b = 74.53 A, c = 70.88 A, alpha = beta = 90 degrees, gamma = 120 degrees. These crystals were resistant to radiation damage and diffracted beyond 1....
