Proteinase 3 (PR3), a serine proteinase which can degrade lung tissue, is present in the cystic fibrosis (CF) sputum. In the present study, PR3 protein and mRNA expression was determined in circulating neutrophils and monocytes. CF neutrophils contained similar PR3 concentrations as healthy controls and poorly expressed PR3 mRNA. In contrast, CF monocytes showed significantly higher PR3 concentrations...
Background: Reports that lung inflammation in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) might precede infection raise the possibility that the excessive inflammatory response in lungs of patients with CF might be directly related to defects in epithelial cell cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator. Objective: We sought to determine the relationship of epithelial cell cytokine production to CF lung disease...
