摘要
中性粒细胞弹性蛋白酶是丝氨酸蛋白酶超家族成员之一,它能够消化、降解细胞外基质和上皮连接结构造成气道上皮完整性破坏和肺组织损伤,并通过促进炎性细胞聚集,引起黏液高分泌等机制促进慢性阻塞性肺疾病气道炎症与重构的发生。
Neutrophil elastase is a potent serine proteinase, it can cause epithelial damage and destruction of lung tissue by digesting, degradating extracellular matrix and epithelium connective frame. Neutrophil elastase also plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation and remodeling in COPD by causing inflammatory cells mucin accumulation and hypersecretion,etc.
