Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In ulcerative colitis [UC], mucosal damage occurs in areas that are infiltrated with neutrophils. The antimicrobial function of neutrophils relies in part on the formation of extracellular web-like structures, named neutrophil extracellular traps [NETs]. The formation and/or clearance of aberrant NETs have been associated with several immune diseases. Here we investigated the role of NETs in UC-related inflammation. METHODS: The expression of NET-associated proteins was evaluated in colonic biopsies of patients with Crohn's disease [CD], UC and in normal controls [NC] by Western blotting, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. Colonic biopsies of UC patients were analysed before and after anti-tumour necrosis factor α [anti-TNF-α] treatment. The capacity of neutrophils to produce NETs upon activation was tested in vitro. UC lamina propria mononuclear cells [LPMCs] were cultured with NETs in the presence or absence of an extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 [ERK1/2] inhibitor and inflammatory cytokine induction was assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We also characterized the contribution of NETs in dextran sodium sulfate [DSS]-induced colitis. RESULTS: NET-associated proteins were over-expressed in inflamed colon of UC patients as compared to CD patients and NC. Circulating neutrophils of UC patients produced NETs in response to TNF-α stimulation, and reduced expression of NET-related proteins and diminished NET formation were seen in patients receiving successful treatment with anti-TNF-α. Treatment of UC LPMCs with NETs activated ERK1/2, thus enhancing TNF-α and interleukin-1β [IL-1β] production. NETs were induced in mice with DSS-colitis and in vivo inhibition of NET release attenuated colitis. CONCLUSIONS: Our data show that NET release occurs in UC and suggest a role for NETs in sustaining mucosal inflammation in this disorder.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
