Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation: A Single Cell Event?
In 2004, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been described as fundamental immune defense of neutrophils against various microbes. Since that time publications are increasing that characterize the stimuli and cellular mechanisms which can activate the cells to release NETs. However, it is still not entirely clear whether NET formation starts as a single cell event, that spreads by cell t...
متن کاملMechanical ventilation induces neutrophil extracellular trap formation.
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation can injure the lung and induce a proinflammatory state; such ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is associated with neutrophil influx. Neutrophils release DNA and granular proteins as cytotoxic neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). The authors hypothesized that NETs were produced in a VILI model and may contribute to injury. METHODS In a two-hit lipopolysa...
متن کاملHematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Thalassemia
Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with defective synthesis of the α- or β-chain of hemoglobin. For β-thalassemia major patients, therapeutic options are either monthly red cell transfusions and chelation therapy or allogeneic stem cell transplant. Stem cell transplant is the only curative approach and success is inversely correlated with the degree of iron overload and h...
متن کاملPediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
The introduction and evolution of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could be traced back to 1950s, to the studies on interactions among irradiation, covering spleen and bone marrow from it and injection of bone marrow cells. Today, HSCT is considered a well-established, effective and promising means of therapy for various malignant and non-malignant medical conditions, both in chil...
متن کاملVitamin C: A Novel Regulator of Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation
INTRODUCTION Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation was recently identified as a novel mechanism to kill pathogens. However, excessive NET formation in sepsis can injure host tissues. We have recently shown that parenteral vitamin C (VitC) is protective in sepsis. Whether VitC alters NETosis is unknown. METHODS We used Gulo-/- mice as they lack the ability to synthesize VitC. Sepsis wa...
