Deficiency in neutrophil elastase does not impair neutrophil recruitment to inflamed sites.
To reach the sites of inflammation, neutrophils traverse the endothelium, its underlying basement membrane, and other barriers depending on the localization of the insulting agent. Whether neutrophil elastase (NE) plays a role in neutrophil recruitment to inflamed sites is still debatable. By exploiting mice deficient in NE (NE(-/-)), we sought to address this dilemma. We recruited neutrophils ...
متن کاملNeutrophil elastase-deficient mice form neutrophil extracellular traps in an experimental model of deep vein thrombosis.
UNLABELLED ESSENTIALS: Neutrophil elastase (NE) plays a role in extracellular trap formation (NETosis) triggered by microbes. The contribution of NE was evaluated in mouse NETosis models of sterile inflammation and thrombosis. NE is not required for mouse neutrophil NET production in vitro with non-infectious stimuli. NE deficiency had no significant effect on thrombosis in the inferior vena ca...
متن کاملNeutrophil elastase activity compensates for a genetic lack of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in leukocyte infiltration in a model of experimental peritonitis.
Extracellular proteolysis of basement membranes and matrix is required for leukocyte diapedesis and migration to the inflammatory focus. Neutrophil elastase (NE) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are among the enzymes involved in these processes, as shown in mice genetically deprived of such enzymes. However, studies with MMP-9(-/-) mice revealed that albeit neutrophil influx is impaired ini...
متن کاملDipeptidyl peptidase I activates neutrophil-derived serine proteases and regulates the development of acute experimental arthritis.
Leukocyte recruitment in inflammation is critical for host defense, but excessive accumulation of inflammatory cells can lead to tissue damage. Neutrophil-derived serine proteases (cathepsin G [CG], neutrophil elastase [NE], and proteinase 3 [PR3]) are expressed specifically in mature neutrophils and are thought to play an important role in inflammation. To investigate the role of these proteas...
متن کاملNeutrophil elastase is needed for neutrophil emigration into lungs in ventilator-induced lung injury.
Mechanical ventilation, often required to maintain normal gas exchange in critically ill patients, may itself cause lung injury. Lung-protective ventilatory strategies with low tidal volume have been a major success in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Volutrauma causes mechanical injury and induces an acute inflammatory response. Our objective was to determine wheth...
