Neutrophil-mediated epithelial injury during transmigration: role of elastase.
Neutrophil-mediated injury to gut epithelium may lead to disruption of the epithelial barrier function with consequent organ dysfunction, but the mechanisms of this are incompletely characterized. Because the epithelial apical junctional complex, comprised of tight and adherens junctions, is responsible in part for this barrier function, we investigated the effects of neutrophil transmigration ...
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 کاملNeutrophil elastase-deficient mice form neutrophil extracellular traps in an experimental model of deep vein thrombosis.
UNLABELLED ESSENTIALS: Neutrophil elastase (NE) plays a role in extracellular trap formation (NETosis) triggered by microbes. The contribution of NE was evaluated in mouse NETosis models of sterile inflammation and thrombosis. NE is not required for mouse neutrophil NET production in vitro with non-infectious stimuli. NE deficiency had no significant effect on thrombosis in the inferior vena ca...
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 کاملneutrophil elastase inhibitor following liver resection: a matched cohort study
background sivelestat is a neutrophil elastase inhibitor (nei) with positive impact on the respiratory complications in thoracic surgery. based on the findings of a recent study, nei may have a good response for avoiding ischemia reperfusion injury in liver resection. conclusions intravenous nei administration had positive impact on the postoperative inflammatory response and oxygenation while ...
