Is neutrophil elastase the missing link between emphysema and fibrosis? Evidence from two mouse models

Respiratory Research, 2005
Background The separation of emphysema from fibrosis is not as clear-cut as it was thought in early studies. These two pathologies may be present at the same time in human lungs and in mice either instilled with elastolytic enzymes or bleomycin or ...

Enhanced release of elastase is not concomitant with increased secretion of granulocyte-activating cytokines in whole blood from patients with sepsis [PDF]

, 1994
Die Diskussion am Ende des Artikels wurde gelöscht (§137l UrhG).Background The proteolytic enzyme elastase released by granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leukocytes [PMN]) in high concentrations during sepsis causes degradation of essential plasma proteins,

New approaches to treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with Colla corii asini

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Colla corii asini improves chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment through anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, immune‐modulatory, and lung‐nourishing effects, addressing current therapeutic challenges via multitarget mechanisms. Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability ...

Neutrophil Elastase Inhibitors and Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2018
End-stage renal disease (ESRD), the last stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is characterized by chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. Neutrophils are the front line cells that mediate an inflammatory response against microorganisms as they can migrate, produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), secrete neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs), and ...

DNase1 RS1053874 Polymorphism is Associated with Early Neurological Recovery through NET Modulation and with Long‐Term Survival in Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Immunothrombosis contributes to ischemic stroke pathophysiology through neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, which promotes thrombus stabilization and microvascular dysfunction. DNase1 is the principal endonuclease responsible for NET degradation.
