Neutrophil extracellular trap formation during surgical procedures: a pilot study.


ABSTRACT: Neutrophils can release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) containing DNA fibres and antimicrobial peptides to immobilize invading pathogens. NET formation (NETosis) plays a vital role in inflammation and immune responses. In this study we investigated the impact of surgical trauma on NETosis of neutrophils. Nine patients undergoing "Transcatheter/percutaneous aortic valve implantation" (TAVI/PAVI, mild surgical trauma), and ten undergoing "Aortocoronary bypass" (ACB, severe surgical trauma) were included in our pilot study. Peripheral blood was collected before, end of, and after surgery (24 h and 48 h). Neutrophilic granulocytes were isolated and stimulated in vitro with Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA). NETosis rate was examined by microscopy. In addition, HLA-DR surface expression on circulating monocytes was analysed by flow-cytometry as a prognostic marker of the immune status. Both surgical procedures led to significant down regulation of monocytic HLA-DR surface expression, albeit more pronounced in ACB patients, and there was a similar trend in NETosis regulation over the surgical 24H course. Upon PMA stimulation, no significant difference in NETosis was observed over time in TAVI/PAVI group; however, a decreasing NETosis trend with a significant drop upon ACB surgery was evident. The reduced PMA-induced NETosis in ACB group suggests that the inducibility of neutrophils to form NETs following severe surgical trauma may be compromised. Moreover, the decreased monocytic HLA-DR expression suggests a post-operative immunosuppressed status in all patients, with a bigger impact by ACB, which might be attributed to the extracorporeal circulation or tissue damage occurring during surgery.
