Acetylsalicylic Acid Promotes Corneal Epithelium Migration by Regulating Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Alkali Burn.

ABSTRACT: Neutrophils are the first cells to migrate into the cornea in response to alkali burns, and excessive neutrophil infiltration is associated with inflammatory injury and a poorer prognosis. In an effort to understand the mechanisms underlying the inflammation mediated by neutrophils after alkali burns, we examined the role of alkali-activated neutrophils on human corneal epithelial cells (HCEs) proliferation and migration, as well as the effects of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and dexamethasone (DXM) on NETosis. We stimulated human neutrophils with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and observed dose- and time-dependent neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation. We also observed that ASA, but not DXM, significantly inhibited NaOH-induced NETosis. Furthermore, the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-
