NETosis is a type of neutrophil extinction that outcome in the liberation of extracellular chromatin and protein accumulation, which contains antiviral proteins, produced by an external pathogen. Neutrophils can show bipolar action in special circumstances. This event, along with other circumstances, involves COVID-19. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are involved in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 by creating a pro-inflammatory and pre-coagulation state that leads to numerous organ losses. This form of host defense, which is promoted by neutrophils, is closely related to the known cytokine storm in severe COVID-19 patients. Hence, these two elements reveal possibly the treatment of the target for SARS-CoV-2 infections intense.

Neutrophils play key protective roles in influenza infections, yet excessive neutrophilic inflammation is a hallmark of acute lung injury during severe infections. Phenotypic heterogeneity is increasingly recognized in neutrophil populations; however, how functional variation in neutrophils between individuals determine the diverse outcomes of influenza remains unclear. To examine immunologic responses that may drive varying outcomes in influenza, we infected C57BL/6 (B6) and A/J mice with mouse-adapted influenza A virus A/PR/8/34 H1N1.

Chronic infectious bone destruction diseases, such as periodontitis, pose a significant global health challenge. Repairing the bone loss caused by these chronic infections remains challenging. In addition to pathogen removal, regulating host immunity is imperative.

Murine neonatal neutrophil depletion strategies have problems achieving deep neutrophil clearance and accurate residual neutrophil fraction detection. An isotype switch method can achieve profound neutrophil clearance using a combination of anti-Ly6G and anti-rat κ Ig light chain antibodies in adult C57Bl/6 mice, proven by extra- and intracellular Ly6G detection by flow cytometry. We adapted this technique to neonatal mice, testing four neutrophil depletion strategies in the peripheral circulation, bone marrow, and spleen.

This chapter reviews tumor-associated myeloid cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and other innate immune cells, and their multifaceted roles in supporting breast cancer progression and metastasis. In primary tumors, myeloid cells play key roles in promoting tumor epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and invasion. They can facilitate intravasation (entry into the bloodstream) and colonization, disrupting the endothelial cell layer and reshaping the extracellular matrix.

Inhibition of Interleukin-40 prevents multi-organ damage during sepsis by blocking NETosis.

Crit Care

January 2025

Center of Clinical Laboratory Medicine, Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.

Despite intensive clinical and scientific efforts, the mortality rate of sepsis remains high due to the lack of precise biomarkers for patient stratification and therapeutic guidance. Interleukin 40 (IL-40), a novel cytokine with immune regulatory functions in human diseases, was elevated at admission in two independent cohorts of patients with sepsis. High levels of secreted IL-40 in septic patients were positively correlated with PCT, CRP, lactate (LDH), and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores, in which IL-40 levels were used to stratify the early death of critically ill patients with sepsis.
