“…Elastase and cathepsin G play an important role in such inflammatory diseases as arthritis, as demonstrated by the fact that neutrophil elastase Ϫ/Ϫ or cathepsin G Ϫ/Ϫ mice are resistant to arthritis induction (1). In another study, we have also demonstrated alterations of enzymatic activities in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients, who display lowered collagenase and cathepsin D activities in monocytes and increased elastase and cathepsin D activities in PMNs compared to controls (30).…”

“…Cathepsins are located in the acid endosomal/lysosomal (low pH) compartment of dendritic cells and play a pivotal role in antigen processing (Riese, 2000). Previous studies have shown that cathepsins are associated with viral entry, dissemination and enhanced viral replication (El Messaoudi, 1999, 2000; Prin-Mathieu, 2001; Tscherene, 2006). Polymorphonuclear cells isolated from HIV-1 positive patients have significantly higher cathepsin D activity than cells from normal controls (Prin-Mathieu, 2001).…”

Polymorphonuclear cells isolated from HIV-1 positive patients have significantly higher cathepsin D activity than cells from normal controls (Prin-Mathieu, 2001). Vaginal secretions contain cathepsin D and exposure of lymphocyte cultures to these secretions increased HIV-1 replication in these cells (El Messaoudi 1999, 2000).…”

“…RGES (Arginine-Glycine-Glutamicacid-Serine-Rho110) includes a part of fibronectin, which is a substrate of PMN elastase. When the bond between the leaving group and the dye is cleaved by the PMN elastase, fluorescence is released (Prin-Mathieu et al, 2001). The assay procedure was the same as DCFH, PMA oxidative burst test.…”

“…CellProbe reagents consist of synthetic nonfluorescent enzymatic substrates that are characterized by their low molecular weight and high polarity. This allows them to diffuse through the cytoplasmic membrane of living cells without previous permeabilization (Prin-Mathieu et al, 2001).…”
