Degradation of EGFR on lung epithelial cells by neutrophil elastase contributes to the aggravation of pneumococcal pneumonia
Pneumococcus is the main cause of bacterial pneumonia. Pneumococcal infection has been shown to cause elastase, an intracellular host defense factor, to leak from neutrophils. However, when neutrophil elastase (NE) leaks extracellularly, it can degrade host cell surface proteins such as epidermal gr...
