Abstract:
Secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI) is a serine proteinase inhibitor that is produced locally in the lung by cells of the submucosal bronchial glands and by nonciliated epithelial cells. Its main function appears to be the inhibition of neutrophil elastase (NE). Recently, NE was found to enhance SLPI mRNA levels while decreasing SLPI protein release in airway epithelial cells. Furthermore, glucocorticoids were shown to increase both constitutive and NE-induced SLPI mRNA levels. In addition to NE, stimulated neutrophils also release α-defensins. Defensins are small, antimicrobial po

592 Background: Secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI) is a non-glycosylated pleiotropic protein with anti-protease, microbicidal, healing, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity. Previous studies have shown that SLPI is associated with pancreatic tumor progression by promoting cancer cell survival and proliferation. However, SLPI can also act on the tumor microenvironment to affect the local immune response. In the present work we evaluate the role of SLPI in patients with pancreatic cancer and its activity as a tumor escape factor from the immune response. Methods: Serum le

ABSTRACT Streptococcal inhibitor of complement (SIC) is a 31-kDa extracellular protein of a few, very virulent, strains of Streptococcus pyogenes (particularly M1 strains).

We describe investigations into the interaction of SIC with three further major components of the innate immune system found in airway surface liquid, namely, secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI), lysozyme, and lactoferrin.

Abstract:
Secretory leukoprotease inhibitor (SLPI) is one of the major physiological inhibitors protecting respiratory epithelium from attack by excess human leukocyte elastase (HLE), a serine protease released by neutrophils upon activation in response to inflammatory stimuli. Reaction with N-chlorotaurine, a major long-lived oxidant generated by activated neutrophils, oxidized all four methionine residues, but no other amino acids, in SLPI, resulting in substantial diminution of its elastase inhibitory activity. Oxidation of the P1' residue, Met73, accounted for most of the diminution in activity sinc

We compared vaginal proinflammatory cytokine and secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) concentrations among pregnant and nonpregnant women according to bacterial vaginosis (BV) status. One-hundred and twenty-two women at 12–20 weeks' gestation and 133 nonpregnant controls had vaginal concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and SLPI measured by enzyme immunoassay. Multivariable linear regression was used to evaluate factors independently associated with vaginal cytokine and SLPI response. Pregnancy and BV were both independently associated with increased vaginal concentration

Abstract:
The secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is a serine protease inhibitor which plays important role in bacterial infection, inflammation, wound healing and epithelial proliferation. Dysregulation of SLPI has been reported in a variety of human cancers including glioblastoma, lung, breast, ovarian and colorectal carcinomas and is associated with tumor aggressiveness and metastatic potential. However, the pathogenic role of SLPI in colorectal cancer is still unclear. Here we showed that SLPI mRNA level was significantly upregulated in colorectal cancer tissues compared to adjacent normal

In a rat streptococcal cell wall (SCW)-induced model of inflammatory erosive polyarthritis, endogenous SLPI was unexpectedly upregulated at both mRNA and protein levels in inflamed joint tissues.

The development of emphysema is thought to be due to an imbalance of proteases (especially neutrophil elastase [NE]) and antiproteases with loosening of the respiratory epithelium as an early event. We investigated the effect of NE on respiratory epithelial cell adherence in vitro , in the presence of varying concentrations and combinations of native inhibitors, α-1-proteinase inhibitor (PI) and secretory leukoprotease inhibitor (SLPI). SLPI was two to 12 times more effective than PI at preventing the effects of NE, especially when enzyme:inhibitor ratios were almost equivalent. Even when the

Abstract:
Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor (SLPI) is a serine protease inhibitor produced by epithelial and myeloid cells with anti-inflammatory properties. Research has shown that SLPI exerts its anti-inflammatory activity by directly binding to NF-κB DNA binding sites and, in so doing, prevents binding and subsequent transcription of proinflammatory gene expression. In the current study, we demonstrate that SLPI can inhibit TNF-α-induced apoptosis in U937 cells and peripheral blood monocytes. Specifically, SLPI inhibits TNF-α-induced caspase-3 activation and DNA degradation associated with apopt

Based on the recent identification of human cell membrane phosphatidylserine (PS) in the outer coat of HIV-1, we define a novel role for annexin II, a PS-binding moiety, as a cellular cofactor supporting macr

Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), a 12-kDa antiprotease, suppresses the growth of C. albicans in vitro. To determine whether the mucosal protein plays a role in protecting oral tissues against fungal infection, we conducted a cross-sectional study investigating the oral and systemic health and salivary SLPI levels in 91 dentate HIV-1-infected adults receiving medical care in the southeastern United States.

No fragmentation of SLPI occurred during gel dissolution, but a slow proteolytic cleavage of SLPI was seen on incubation of the liquified semen at 37°C. The same pattern of degradation products was seen after incubation of SLPI with prostatic secretion and also with purified prostate‐specific antigen, PSA.
