Effect of Adhesion and Substrate Elasticity on Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells. Upon stimulation, they are able to decondense and release their chromatin as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). This process (NETosis) is part of immune defense mechanisms but also plays an

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Drives Expansion of Low-Density Neutrophils Equipped With Regulatory Activities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In human tuberculosis (TB) neutrophils represent the most commonly infected phagocyte but their role in protection and pathology is highly contradictory.

Enhanced NETosis generation in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis: utility as biomarker for disease activity and anti-TNF-α therapy effectiveness

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2020
Background Radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory form of arthritis in which tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, a potent inducer of inflammatory response and a key regulator of innate immunity and of Th1 immune responses ...

SPARC is a new myeloid-derived suppressor cell marker licensing suppressive activities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are well-known key negative regulators of the immune response during tumor growth, however scattered is the knowledge of their capacity to influence and adapt to the different tumor microenvironments and of the ...

NETosis in cancer

open access: yesOncoscience, 2015
A large proportion of cancer-related deaths are caused by thrombosis and general organ failure. Although the awareness of tumor-induced systemic effects has increased significantly in recent years, current knowledge is still mainly restricted to metastatic sites.

Mucosa-Environment Interactions in the Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mucosal surfaces play a central role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Several risk factors, such as cigarette smoking, environmental pollution, and periodontitis interact with the host at the mucosal level, triggering immune system ...

Diverse Roles of NETosis in the Pathogenesis of Lupus

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
NETosis is a form of neutrophil cell death during which extracellular fibrillary structures composed of cytosolic and granule proteins assembled on scaffolds of decondensed chromatin, called neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), are released.

Platelets: New bricks in the building of neutrophil extracellular traps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In addition to being key elements in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets have an important role in the inflammatory and innate immune response. This activity is associated with their capability to recognize pathogens through the expression of toll-like ...

ROS induces NETosis by oxidizing DNA and initiating DNA repair

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2021
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation or NETosis. Nevertheless, how ROS induces NETosis is unknown. Neutrophil activation induces excess ROS production and a meaningless genome-wide transcription to
