Neutrophil 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 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 کاملCrystallization of human neutrophil elastase.
Human neutrophil elastase was inactivated by methoxysuccinyl-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Pro-L-Ala-chloromethane. The modified enzyme was crystallized from 40 mM ammonium phosphate, pH 7.0 in the hexagonal space group P6(3) with unit cell parameters a = 74.53 A, b = 74.53 A, c = 70.88 A, alpha = beta = 90 degrees, gamma = 120 degrees. These crystals were resistant to radiation damage and diffracted beyond 1....

Accessible online at: www.karger.com/onk Fax +49 761 4 52 07 14 E-mail [email protected] www.karger.com 4D5. HER2 gene encodes a 185-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein receptor (p185HER2), which is amplified in 25–30% of human breast cancers. When amplified, the gene produces high levels of HER2 surface receptor expression. Patients with breast cancer whose tumors demonstrate HER2 gene amplific...
متن کاملStructure of the human neutrophil elastase gene.
The gene for human neutrophil elastase (NE), a powerful serine protease carried by blood neutrophils and capable of destroying most connective tissue proteins, was cloned from a genomic DNA library of a normal individual. The NE gene consists of 5 exons and 4 introns included in a single copy 4-kilobase segment of chromosome 11 at q14. The coding exons of the NE gene predict a primary translati...
