Flavonoids as inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase [PDF]
Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2021 Elastase is a proteolytic enzyme belonging to the family of hydrolases produced by human neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells. Human neutrophil elastase is known to play multiple roles in the human body, but an increase in its activity may cause a variety of diseases.

The Role of Neutrophils and Neutrophil Elastase in Pneumococcal Pneumonia [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as pneumococcus, is a Gram-positive diplococcus and a major human pathogen. This bacterium is a leading cause of bacterial pneumonia, otitis media, meningitis, and septicemia, and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. To date, studies onS.

Neutrophil elastase in the tumor microenvironment [PDF]
Steroids, 2018 Myeloid cell production within the bone marrow is accelerated in the setting of cancer, and the numbers of circulating and infiltrating neutrophils and granulocytic myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) correlate with tumor progression and patient survival.

Diabetic retinopathy: could the alpha-1 antitrypsin be a therapeutic option? [PDF]
, 2014 Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most important causes of blindness. The underlying mechanisms of this disease include inflammatory changes and remodeling processes of the extracellular-matrix (ECM) leading to pericyte and vascular endothelial cell ...

Neutrophil elastase and obliterative bronchiolitis
Transplant International, 1994 Bronchoalveolar lavage levels of elastase were assayed to determine the timing and magnitude of elevations in elastase relative to both fibrosis, as indicated by hyaluronate (HA) levels, and decline in FEV1 characteristic of the clinical syndrome of obliterative bronchiolitis (OB).

Neutrophil Elastase-Mediated Lung Disease
COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 2013 Elastases of both the neutrophil and macrophage have been implicated in lung disease initiation and progression. Although it is unlikely that these proteases evolved for the purpose of injuring lung tissue, the elastin-rich connective tissue framework of the lungs appears to be particularly susceptible to the action of elastolytic proteases.

Matrikines are key regulators in modulating the amplitude of lung inflammation in acute pulmonary infection [PDF]
, 2015 Bioactive matrix fragments (matrikines) have been identified in a myriad of disorders, but their impact on the evolution of airway inflammation has not been demonstrated.

Inhibition of neutrophil activity improves cardiac function after cardiopulmonary bypass [PDF]
, 2007 Background The arterial in line application of the leukocyte inhibition module (LIM) in the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) limits overshooting leukocyte activity during cardiac surgery.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Pressure skin wounds are frequent complications after spinal cord injury (SCI), with impaired healing due to vascular and immune deficits. Elastin‐like polypeptides (ELP) fused to α‐MSH (MSH‐ELP) or MCP‐1 (MCP‐ELP) are developed and tested on these wounds. The resulting nanoparticles are non‐toxic and bioactive, and they enhance macrophage recruitment,
