Elevation of NE levels/activity has been demonstrated in a variety of pathological conditions including cystic fibrosis , acute respiratory distress syndrome, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, aortic stiffness and systolic hypertension according to current studies.
Neutrophil elastase (NE) is a key enzyme for tissue injury caused by activated neutrophils, such as occurs in Acute Lung injury.
Neutrophil Elastase Is Produced by Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells and Is Linked to Neointimal Lesions according to Department of Pediatrics and the Wall Center for Pulmonary Vascular Disease, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California.
