Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We previously established that neutrophil-derived dipeptidyl peptidase I (DPPI) is essential for experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development. Because DPPI activates several neutrophil serine proteases, it remains to be determined whether the AAA-promoting effect of DPPI is mediated by neutrophil serine proteases. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Using an elastase-induced AAA model, we demonstrate...
