Histone Acetylation Promotes Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2019 Neutrophils undergo a unique form of cell death to generate neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). It is well established that citrullination of histones (e.g., CitH3) facilitates chromatin decondensation during NET formation (NETosis), particularly ...

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) : formation and implications [PDF]
Acta Biochimica Polonica, 2013 Neutrophils are cells of the immune system which freely circulate in blood vessels and are recruited to the inflammation sites when the human organism responds to microbial infections.

Recombinant Thrombomodulin Suppresses Histone-Induced Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Histones, the major protein components of chromatin, are released into the extracellular space during sepsis, trauma, and ischemia-reperfusion injury, and subsequently mediate organ failure.

Triptolide inhibits neutrophil extracellular trap formation [PDF]
Annals of Translational Medicine, 2021 Triptolide (PG490), as a triterpene dicyclic oxide has been reported to increase the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) and induce apoptosis of RAW 264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The activity of death NETs plays an important role in anti-bacterial processes in the human body.

Pneumolysin activates neutrophil extracellular trap formation [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2016 Summary The primary objective of the current study was to investigate the potential of the pneumococcal toxin, pneumolysin (Ply), to activate neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in vitro. Isolated human blood neutrophils were exposed to recombinant Ply (5-20 ng ml−1) for 30–90 min at 37°C and NET formation measured using the ...

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Initiate Gallstone Formation [PDF]
Immunity, 2019 The presence of gallstones (cholelithiasis) is a highly prevalent and severe disease and one of the leading causes of hospital admissions worldwide. Due to its substantial health impact, we investigated the biological mechanisms that lead to the formation and growth of gallstones.

Metabolic requirements for neutrophil extracellular traps formation [PDF]
Immunology, 2015 SummaryAs part of the innate immune response, neutrophils are at the forefront of defence against infection, resolution of inflammation and wound healing. They are the most abundant leucocytes in the peripheral blood, have a short lifespan and an estimated turnover of 1010 to 1011 cells per day.

H2 Inhibits the Formation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps
JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2022 Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to inflammatory pathogenesis in numerous conditions, including infectious and cardiovascular diseases, and have attracted attention as potential therapeutic targets. H2 acts as an antioxidant and has been clinically and experimentally proven to ameliorate inflammation.
