Modifying the Protease, Antiprotease Pattern by Elafin Overexpression Protects Mice From Colitis

Abstract: The protease inhibitor Elafin prevents intestinal inflammation in mouse models of colitis and might be developed as a therapeutic agent for inflammatory bowel disease.

“…On day 7, DSS was replaced with normal drinking water for 3 d. PD1 n-3 DPA or vehicle (0.3 μg/100 μL in saline 0.01% EtOH) were administered intraperitoneally daily (from day 5 to day 10). At the end of day 8 or 10, the colon was removed, measured, and examined for the consistency of the stool found within, as well as the gross macroscopic appearance and length, as described previously (37,38). Samples harvested for histology were analyzed by light microscopy and scored (37,38).…”

“…The authors proposed that this effect was a mechanism for allowing increased neutrophil transepithelial migration. More recently, in an in vivo mouse model of colitis, it was shown that inhibition of NE by elafin significantly suppresses inflammatory mediators and strengthens the intestinal epithelial barrier functions in colonic tissues from mice as well as in intestinal epithelial cells (34). Given that PAR 2 is believed to be a key player in the pathogenesis of colitis (35,36), it will be interesting to evaluate further the signaling responses and trafficking of the receptor in the colonic epithelial cells to assess the possible relationship to data in this report.…”

“…Under physiological conditions, colonic trypsin activity is constantly counterbalanced by the presence of trypsin inhibitors [43]. On the contrary, in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, there is a reduction of the expression of the trypsin inhibitor [44] [45] and thus, trypsin activity is increased in IBD patients [46].…”
