Neutrophil Elastase Increases Vascular Permeability and Leukocyte Transmigration in Cultured Endothelial Cells and Obese Mice

open access: yesCells, 2022
Neutrophil elastase (NE) plays a pivotal role in inflammation. However, the mechanism underlying NE-mediated inflammation in obesity remains unclear. Here, we report that NE activates protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR2), stimulates actin filament (F ...

Canonical Antibodies Adopt Distinct Binding Modes to Recognize Viral Glycan Shields

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Canonical Y‐shaped antibodies recognize viral glycan shields through adaptive Fab assembly states shaped by glycan organization and somatic hypermutation. Structural analyses ofbroadly neutralizing antibodies VRC35 and VRC36 across glycoproteins of HIV‐1, influenza, SARS‐CoV‐2, and Lassa viruses reveal distinct Fab assembly states, spanning monovalent,

Functional and metabolic differences between elastase-generated fragments of human lipoprotein[a] and apolipoprotein[a]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1996
We have previously shown that a functional free apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]) can be isolated from its parent lipoprotein[a] (Lp[a]) by a mild reductive procedure.

Interleukin‐1α Mediates Pancreatic Fibroblast Activation, Regulates Immune Cell Recruitment and Fibrosis in Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
During pancreatitis, IL‐1α is released from necrotic acinar cells. In response to IL‐1α, pancreatic fibroblasts release chemokines and cytokines that regulate the recruitment of immune cells to the damaged organ. Furthermore, IL‐1α primes fibroblasts, resulting in increased tissue fibrosis during chronic pancreatitis.

Neutrophil elastase and neurovascular injury following focal stroke and reperfusion

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2009
Neutrophil elastase (NE) degrades basal lamina and extracellular matrix molecules, and recruits leukocytes during inflammation; however, a basic understanding of the role of NE in stroke pathology is lacking.

Local lung responses following endobronchial elastase and lipopolysaccharide instillation in sheep [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure may contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases including COPD and emphysema. We sought to develop a large-animal model of emphysema using repeated LPS administration into sheep lung segments.

Leveraging Microphysiological Systems to Facilitate Neutrophil‐Based Cancer Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Microphysiological systems are emerging as powerful human‐relevant platforms for studying neutrophil biology in cancer. Current applications of spheroids, organoids, and organ‐on‐a‐chip models are reviewed, together with future opportunities in behaviorome profiling, multi‐omics integration, personalized medicine, immune crosstalk, and multi‐organ ...

Pathological Signal‐Responsive Nanoplatforms for Sepsis: Integrating Biomarker Sensing With Spatiotemporal Drug Delivery and Immunomodulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Biomarker‐triggered nanoplatforms transform sepsis therapy by coupling pathological sensing with precision drug release. This review reveals how microenvironment‐responsive nanomedicines enable stage‐specific intervention, improve therapeutic efficacy, and minimize systemic toxicity, while highlighting emerging opportunities for AI‐assisted and ...
