Paradigm of biased PAR1 (protease-activated receptor-1) activation and inhibition in endothelial cells dissected by phosphoproteomics [PDF]

, 2017
Thrombin is the key serine protease of the coagulation cascade and mediates cellular responses by activation of PARs (protease-activated receptors). The predominant thrombin receptor is PAR1, and in endothelial cells (ECs), thrombin dynamically regulates

Post‐surgery level of circulating DNA in stage III colon cancer patients: Impact on the reliability of minimal residual disease detection

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Circulating nuclear DNA (cir‐nDNA)‐based assessment of minimal residual disease (MRD) offers powerful post‐surgery prognostic insight for stage III colon cancer (CC). Sparse knowledge of post‐surgical variations and origins in cir‐nDNA, however, has limited its clinical application.

Heparin-binding protein in sputum as a marker of pulmonary inflammation, lung function, and bacterial load in children with cystic fibrosis

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2018
Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with bacterial pulmonary infections and neutrophil-dominated inflammation in the airways. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neutrophil-derived protein Heparin-binding protein (HBP) as a potential ...

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

, 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. An

Deubiquitinase USP7 Regulates Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation and Inflammation in Lipopolysaccharide‐Treated Mice Through ICAM‐1 Expression

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sepsis is typified by organ failure due to an unchecked host reaction to infection. This study aims to explore the mechanism of ubiquitin‐specific peptidase 7 (USP7) in sepsis with the involvement of intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1).

SPX-101 is stable in and retains function after exposure to cystic fibrosis sputum [PDF]

, 2019
Background: In healthy lungs, epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is regulated by short, palate, lung, and nasal clone 1 (SPLUNC1). In cystic fibrosis (CF), ENaC is hyperactivated in part due to a loss of SPLUNC1 function.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): A Comprehensive Overview From Basic Biology to Clinical Prevention and Control

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

Neutrophil Protease Cleavage of Von Willebrand Factor in Glomeruli – An Anti-thrombotic Mechanism in the Kidney

EBioMedicine, 2017
Adequate cleavage of von Willebrand factor (VWF) prevents formation of thrombi. ADAMTS13 is the main VWF-cleaving protease and its deficiency results in development of thrombotic microangiopathy.

Recent Progress in Treating Airway Mucus Hypersecretion by Targeting the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Signaling Pathway

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asthma, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and acute respiratory infections are severe respiratory conditions that significantly contribute to global morbidity and mortality. Airway mucus hypersecretion is an important common pathophysiological and clinical manifestation of these diseases and is closely associated ...

INTERRELATIONS BETWEEN NEUTRO PHIL ENZYMES AND THEIR INHIBITORS IN PATHOGENESIS OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME ASSOCIATED WITH INFLUENZA PNEUMONIA

Медицинская иммунология, 2014
. Amounts of several neutrophil enzymes (elastase, myeloperoxidase (MPO), MMP-2) and their local inhibitors, i.e., Clara cell protein (CC16) and HSP-70, have been determined in blood plasma from fifty-two patients with various forms of influenza A/H1N1 ...
