Targeting neutrophil elastase in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal hereditary disease characterised by neutrophil-dominated lung inflammation. These abundant neutrophils produce neutrophil elastase (NE), a destructive serine protease that has direct actions on extracellular matrix proteins and has a role in the host response to inflammation and infection. OBJECTIVE This review examines the prospect of developing no...
متن کاملTargeting neutrophil: new approach against hypertensive cardiac remodeling?
A n association between hypertension and immune system activation has long been recognized as a potential mechanism of hypertensive end-organ damage. Indeed, recent accumulating evidence using mouse models of hypertension induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) supports the roles of T lymphocytes and macrophages in the pathogenesis of hyper-tension and its complications. 1 Curiously, although neutro...
متن کاملTargeting Neutrophil Apoptosis for Enhancing the Resolution of Inflammation
Resolution of acute inflammation is an active process that requires inhibition of further leukocyte recruitment and removal of leukocytes from inflamed sites. Emigrated neutrophils undergo apoptosis before being removed by scavenger macrophages. Recent studies using a variety of gene knockout, transgenic and pharmacological strategies in diverse models of inflammation established neutrophil apo...
متن کاملTargeting cytosolic proliferating cell nuclear antigen in neutrophil-dominated inflammation
New therapeutic approaches that can accelerate neutrophil apoptosis under inflammatory conditions to enhance the resolution of inflammation are now under study. Neutrophils are deprived of proliferative capacity and have a tightly controlled lifespan to avoid their persistence at the site of injury. We have recently described that the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a nuclear factor ...
متن کاملInhibitors and Antibody Fragments as Potential Anti-Inflammatory Therapeutics Targeting Neutrophil Proteinase 3 in Human Disease.
Proteinase 3 (PR3) has received great scientific attention after its identification as the essential antigenic target of antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies in Wegener's granulomatosis (now called granulomatosis with polyangiitis). Despite many structural and functional similarities between neutrophil elastase (NE) and PR3 during biosynthesis, storage, and extracellular release, unique properti...
