Endothelial Dysfunction Induced by Extracellular Neutrophil Traps Plays Important Role in the Occurrence and Treatment of Extracellular Neutrophil Traps-Related Disease
Many articles have demonstrated that extracellular neutrophil traps (NETs) are often described as part of the antibacterial function. However, since the components of NETs are non-specific, excessive NETs usually cause inflammation and tissue damage. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) caused by NETs is th...

Sumario: | Many articles have demonstrated that extracellular neutrophil traps (NETs) are often described as part of the antibacterial function. However, since the components of NETs are non-specific, excessive NETs usually cause inflammation and tissue damage. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) caused by NETs is the major focus of tissue damage, which is highly related to many inflammatory diseases. Therefore, this review summarizes the latest advances in the primary and secondary mechanisms between NETs and ED regarding inflammation as a mediator. Moreover, the detailed molecular mechanisms with emphasis on the disadvantages from NETs are elaborated: NETs can use its own enzymes, release particles as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and activate the complement system to interact with endothelial cells (ECs), drive ECs damage and eventually aggravate inflammation. In view of the role of NETs-induced ED in different diseases, we also discussed possible molecular mechanisms and the treatments of NETs-related diseases. |
