[HTML][HTML] Chymotrypsin-like elastase-1 mediates progressive emphysema in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

Abstract Chymotrypsin-like elastase 1 (CELA1) is a serine protease that is neutralized by
alpha-1antitrypsin (AAT) and prevents emphysema in a murine antisense oligonucleotide
model of AAT-deficient emphysema. Mice with genetic ablation of AAT do not have
emphysema at baseline but develop emphysema with injury and aging. We tested the role of
the CELA1 gene in emphysema development in this genetic model of AAT-deficiency
following tracheal lipopolysaccharide (LPS), 10 months of cigarette smoke exposure, aging …
