Abstract

Neutrophil NET formation induced by PMA, bacteria, and ionomycin has different requirements for NADPH oxidase activity and myeloperoxidase. Release of NETs by neutrophils is linked with immune protection and host damage. A variety of stimuli promotes NET formation. However, findings from different laboratories often vary, and it is possible that more than one mechanism of NET formation exists. NET formation induced by PMA has been shown to require NADPH oxidase activity, and there is evidence that the granule enzyme MPO is also involved. However, requirements for NADPH oxidase or MPO with other stimuli are less well established. We investigated the role of oxidants in NET formation by human neutrophils induced with PMA, several bacterial genera, and the calcium ionophore ionomycin. With the use of inhibitors of the NADPH oxidase and MPO, oxidant scavengers, and cells from a MPO-deficient individual, we observed that requirements for oxidant generation depend on the stimulus. NADPH oxidase activity was required with PMA and bacterial stimulation but not with ionomycin. Whereas MPO was required for efficient NET formation with PMA, incubation with bacteria induced NETs independently of MPO activity. Although the specific mechanisms whereby oxidants participate in NET formation remain to be clarified, it is possible that other stimuli that mobilize calcium act like ionomycin via an oxidant-independent mechanism, and it cannot be inferred from results with PMA that MPO is required with more physiological stimuli.

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.
