In renal transplantation, ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major cause of renal dysfunction. Activated neutrophils are reported to be closely involved in I/R injury after renal transplantation. Neutrophil elastase, a protease released from activated neutrophils, damages tubular endothelial cells. We investigated the beneficial effect of neutrophil elastase inhibitor (ONO-5046.Na) on renal I/R injury in rats. The study was conducted using 10 male Lewis rats (270-320 g) that were intravenously administered ONO-5046.Na (30 mg/kg before ischemia and after reperfusion) (group A) and control rats (group B) in a 90-min renal warm I/R injury model. Neutrophil elastase expression was analyzed using immunohistochemical staining, and the degree of renal dysfunction was evaluated using H&E staining and blood biochemistry. Neutrophil elastase was detected in tubular endothelial cells. The necrotic area extended to and encompassed nearly all the ischemic kidney within 12 h after reperfusion. The necrotic area and the grade of neutrophil elastase staining were significantly reduced in group A compared to group B. Significant differences in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels were observed. Survival rates over a 14-day period were examined. No rats survived for more than 4 days in group B. However, 2 of the 10 rats (20%) in group A survived for a 14-day period. To conclude, ONO-5046.Na inhibits neutrophil elastase and reduces acute tubular necrosis. Thus, it is a potent therapeutic agent for the control of renal I/R injury in renal transplantation.

Neutrophils, the first cells to arrive at infection sites, release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) comprising nuclear and/or mitochondrial DNA webs decorated with proteins. Similar to other parasites, induces NET extrusion. However, our understanding of NET formation and neutrophil fate after NET release in a Leishmania infection context is limited.

Introduction: Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) have been proven to aggravate asthma pathogenesis. We previously demonstrated that concurrent exposure to house dust mite (HDM) and DEP in mice increases both eosinophils and neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and also results in higher levels of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation compared to sole HDM, sole DEP or saline exposure. We aimed to evaluate whether treatment with anti-IL-5 can alleviate the asthmatic features in this mixed granulocytic asthma model.

Neutrophil elastase () mutations are the most common cause of cyclic (CyN) and congenital neutropenia (SCN), two autosomal dominant disorders causing recurrent infections due to impaired neutrophil production. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) corrects neutropenia but has adverse effects, including bone pain and in some cases, an increased risk of myelodysplasia (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an alternative but is limited by its complications and donor availability.

Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) often results in renal impairment. While the presence of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is consistently observed, their specific impact on IRI is not yet defined. Sivelestat sodium, an inhibitor of neutrophil elastase which is crucial for NET formation, may offer a therapeutic approach to renal IRI, warranting further research.

Transplanted organs are inevitably exposed to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, which is known to cause graft dysfunction. Functional and structural changes that follow IR tissue injury are mediated by neutrophils through the production of oxygen-derived free radicals, as well as from degranulation which entails the release of proteases and other pro-inflammatory mediators. Neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) are believed to be the principal triggers of post-ischemic reperfusion damage.
