A decreased percentage of CD177 neutrophils is frequently present in MDS and AML and is a useful flow cytometry (FCM) marker for the identification of MDS. The underlying mechanism leading to the low percentage of CD177 neutrophils in MDS has not been explained. The aim of this study was to identify whether specific somatic mutations in myeloid neoplasms are associated with the low percentage of CD177 neutrophils. 507 myeloid neoplasms with one or more pathogenic molecular abnormality identified by NGS and in which CD177 expression was assessed were evaluated. Correlation with CD177 expression was determined for 39 variables (including genes mutated, diagnostic groups and gender) using a 40 % cutoff level for low CD177 expression. In multivariate analysis mutations involving NPM1 (OD 0.26), RUNX1 (OD 0.39), TET2 (OD 0.58), and U2AF1 S34F (OD 0.25) were associated with low percentage of CD177 neutrophils when all cases were evaluated. JAK2 (OD 2.5) alteration was associated with increased percentage of CD177 neutrophils. Differences were noted between diagnostic subgroups with no single mutation associated with decreased CD177 neutrophils in MDS and CCUS. The findings demonstrate an association between the percentage of CD177 neutrophils and somatically acquired mutations involving several genes.

The neutrophil marker CD177 (NB1, HNA-2a) is expressed by 0-100% of circulating neutrophils in any given donor, dividing neutrophils into two distinct subpopulations (CD177pos and CD177neg). High proportions of CD177pos blood neutrophils have been linked to both systemic infections and a range of inflammatory pathologies, but whether this is a cause or a consequence of disease is not known. Many conditions displaying elevated CD177pos neutrophil proportions are also accompanied by the presence of circulating low-density granulocytes (LDGs).

Social creatures must attend to threat signals from conspecifics and respond appropriately, both behaviorally and physiologically. In this work, we show in mice a threat-sensitive immune mechanism that orchestrates psychological processes and is amenable to social modulation. Repeated encounters with socially cued threats triggered meningeal neutrophil (MN) priming preferentially in males.

Neutrophils play a crucial role in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) and significantly influence treatment outcomes. Phenotypic and functional properties of neutrophils adapt to the TME with distinct subsets modulating disease progression and therapeutic interventions. Here, we evaluated phenotypic and functional differences of neutrophils derived from HNSCC patients and healthy donors.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents a group of recurrent chronic inflammatory disorders associated with autoimmune dysregulation, typically characterized by neutrophil infiltration and mucosal inflammatory lesions. Neutrophils, as the earliest immune cells to arrive at inflamed tissues, play a dual role in the onset and progression of mucosal inflammation in IBD. Most of these cells specifically express CD177, a molecule increasingly recognized for its critical role in the pathogenesis of IBD.

CD177 plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of myeloid lineage cells including neutrophils, myelocytes, promyelocytes, megakaryocytes, and early erythroblasts in bone marrow. CD177 deficiency is a common phenotype in humans. Our previous studies revealed genetic mechanisms of human CD177 deficiency and expression variations.
