Neutrophil extracellular traps in sheep mastitis [PDF]

Veterinary Research, 2015
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are structures composed of DNA, histones, and antimicrobial proteins that are released extracellularly by neutrophils and other immune cells as a means for trapping and killing invading pathogens. Here, we describe NET formation in milk and in mammary alveoli of mastitic sheep, and provide a dataset of proteins ...

Nicotine induces neutrophil extracellular traps

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 2016
Abstract NETs serve to ensnare and kill microbial pathogens. However, NETs can at the same time contribute to tissue damage and excessive inflammation. Nicotine is a major toxic agent and has been associated with exacerbated inflammatory diseases.

Neutrophil killing of Mycobacterium abscessus by intra- and extracellular mechanisms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Mycobacterium abscessus, a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, are increasingly present in soft tissue infections and chronic lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis, and infections are characterized by growth in neutrophil-rich environments ...

The interrelationship between phagocytosis, autophagy and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps following infection of human neutrophils by Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

, 2017
Neutrophils play an important role in the innate immune response to infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae, the pneumococcus. Pneumococci are phagocytosed by neutrophils and undergo killing after ingestion.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Host Defense [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2019
Neutrophils are produced in the bone marrow and then patrol blood vessels from which they can be rapidly recruited to a site of infection. Neutrophils bind, engulf, and efficiently kill invading microbes via a suite of defense mechanisms. Diverse extracellular and intracellular microbes induce neutrophils to extrude neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)

Neutrophil extracellular traps in acute coronary syndrome

Journal of Inflammation, 2023
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a group of clinical syndromes caused by acute myocardial ischemia, which can cause heart failure, arrhythmia and even sudden death. It is the major cause of disability and death worldwide.

In vitro induction of NETosis: Comprehensive live imaging comparison and systematic review [PDF]

, 2017
__Background__ Multiple inducers of in vitro Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) formation (NETosis) have been described. Since there is much variation in study design and results, our aim was to create a systematic review of NETosis inducers and perform

Ginsenoside Rb1 ameliorates neutrophil extracellular traps-induced vascular endothelial damage by suppressing apoptosis

Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology
The study aims to investigate the effect of ginsenoside Rb1 on improving neutrophil extracellular traps-induced vascular endothelial damage. The CCK8 assay was used to evaluate the impact of ginsenoside Rb1 on cell activity.

Janus-Faced Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Periodontitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Periodontitis is characterized by PMN infiltration and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, their functional role for periodontal health remains complex and partially understood.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in the Autoimmunity Context

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a strategy utilized by neutrophils for capturing infective agents. Extracellular traps consist in a physical net made of DNA and intracellular proteins externalized from neutrophils, where ...
