Pleiotropic Functions

Recent evidence shows that human neutrophil elastase inhibitors can be synthesized locally at mucosal sites. In addition to efficiently targeting bacterial and host enzymes, they can be released in the interstitium and in the lumen of mucosa, where they have been shown to have antimicrobial activities, and to activate innate immune responses. This review will address more particularly the pleiotropic functions of low-molecular-mass neutrophil elastase inhibitors [SLPI (secretory leucocyte proteinase inhibitor) and elafin] and, more specifically, their role in the development of the adaptive immune response.

The immunohistochemical results obtained with antibodies directed against human neutrophil elastase is described. It was found that neutrophil elastase can be used as a specific marker of cells of the neutrophilic lineage. In normal hematopoietic cell preparations, only promyelocytes and more differentiated myeloid cells stain positive for elastase. In acute or chronic myeloid and myelomonocytic leukemia, the same neutrophil myeloid cells stain positive, whereas neoplastic cells of the monocytoid line are negative. Using elastase in conjunction with other markers, it is possible to differentiate easily the involvement of different cell lines in myeloproliferative diseases.
