are strong inducers of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a defense mechanism of neutrophils against pathogens. Our aim was to explore the role of Protein A in -induced NETosis. We determined the Protein A production of four different strains and found a direct relationship between the degree of NETosis induction and Protein A production: strains producing higher concentrations of Protein A evoke significantly more NETs. A strain in which Protein A as well as a second binding protein for immunoglobulins () have been knocked-out (Δ Δ) induced significantly less NETosis than the wild-type strain. NETosis induction by this knockout strain can be rescued by the addition of purified Protein A. Dead did not induce NETosis. In conclusion, Protein A is a determinant for NETosis induction by .

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), an important host defense mechanism, are assembled after the release of decondensed chromatin and other nuclear components by a process termed NETosis. However, excessive NET release destroys surrounding tissues, leading to conditions such as sepsis where platelets are implicated in the pathogenic switch of NETosis. Here, we show that platelets trigger iron accumulation and promote lipid peroxide production in neutrophils co-stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and platelets in vitro, resulting in the induction of NETosis.

Article Synopsis
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can lead to cerebral ischemia, and recent research suggests that microvasospasm, influenced by perivascular inflammation, plays a role in this condition.
- A mouse model with intravital 2-photon imaging was used to study vascular and perivascular changes following SAH, revealing that neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to the development of microvasospasms.
- The findings indicate that targeting perivascular NETs could be a potential new treatment approach for mitigating microvasospasm-related issues in SAH.

Article Synopsis
- Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a crucial role in the immune response, but the processes behind their formation, known as NETosis, are not fully understood.
- This study investigates the downregulation of two G-protein coupled receptors, C5aR1 and LTB4R1, in neutrophils from low birth weight newborns and how they affect NET formation.
- Using various laboratory techniques, researchers confirmed that inhibiting these receptors reduced extracellular DNA release and proteins associated with NETs, highlighting their importance in the regulation of NETosis.
Intraoperative Oxygen Consumption and Postoperative Immune Response in Colorectal Oncological Surgery: A Prospective, Monocentric Pilot Study.

Surgical resection is the key treatment for colorectal cancer, but the extent of surgical trauma has been implied as a key factor for the oncologic outcome. The immune stress response to surgical trauma generates a cascade of immunological events implying neutrophils' perioperative change generating NETosis, N killer decrease, and platelets' activation that may influence postoperative surgical outcome, tumor cell growth, and future oncogenesis. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between intraoperative oxygen consumption (VO) and the dynamic variation of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and platelets in the perioperative period to identify an intraoperative tool that could predict the postoperative immune response.

Neutrophils are believed to play a role in the initial stages of paratuberculosis, and it has recently been demonstrated that vaccination can modulate their function via priming or through epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming (training). Modulation of the neutrophil response against subspecies () through vaccination has been demonstrated in a rabbit model but not in ruminants. Therefore, in the present work, the effect of vaccination on the response of caprine neutrophils against was studied.
