Resolvin T-series reduce neutrophil extracellular traps.

ABSTRACT: The newly identified 13-series (T-series) resolvins (RvTs) regulate phagocyte functions and accelerate resolution of infectious inflammation. Because severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 elicits uncontrolled inflammation involving neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), we tested whether stereochemically defined RvTs regulate NET formation. Using microfluidic devices capturing NETs in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-stimulated human whole blood, the RvTs (RvT1-RvT4; 2.5 nM each) potently reduced NETs. With interleukin-1β-stimulated human neutrophils, each RvT dose and time dependently decreased NETosis, conveying ∼50% potencies at 10 nM, compared with a known NETosis inhibitor (10 μM). In a murine Staphylococcus aureus infection, RvTs (50 ng each) limited neutrophil infiltration, bacterial titers, and NETs. In addition, each RvT enhanced NET uptake by human macrophages; RvT2 was the most potent of the four RvTs, giving a >50% increase in NET-phagocytosis. As part of the intracellular signaling mechanism, RvT2 increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate and phospho-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) within human macrophages, and RvT2-stimulated NET uptake was abolished by protein kinase A and AMPK inhibition. RvT2 also stimulated NET clearance by mouse macrophages in vivo. Together, these results provide evidence for novel pro-resolving functions of RvTs, namely reducing NETosis and enhancing macrophage NET clearance via a cyclic adenosine monophosphate-protein kinase A-AMPK axis. Thus, RvTs open opportunities for regulating NET-mediated collateral tissue damage during infection as well as monitoring NETs.

Project description:The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a strategy utilized by neutrophils for capturing infective agents. Extracellular traps consist in a physical net made of DNA and intracellular proteins externalized from neutrophils, where bacteria and viruses are entrapped and killed by proteolysis. A complex series of events contributes to achieving NET formation: signaling from infectious triggers comes first, followed by decondensation of chromatin and extrusion of the nucleosome components (DNA, histones) from the nucleus and, after cell membrane breakdown, outside the cell. NETs are composed of either DNA or nucleosome proteins and hundreds of cytoplasm proteins, a part of which undergo post-translational modification during the steps leading to NETs. There is a thin balance between the production and the removal of circulating NETs from blood where digestion of DNA by circulating DNases 1 and IL3 has a critical role. A delay in NET removal may have consequences for autoimmunity. Recent studies have shown that circulating NET levels are increased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for a functional block of NET removal mediated by anti-DNase antibodies or, in rare cases, by DNase IL3 mutations. In SLE, the persistence in circulation of NETs signifies elevated concentrations of either free DNA/nucleosome components and oxidized proteins that, in some cases, are recognized as non-self and presented to B-cells by Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). In this way, it is activated as an immunologic response, leading to the formation of IgG2 auto-antibody. Monitoring serum NET levels represents a potential new way to herald the development of renal lesions and has clinical implications. Modulating the balance between NET formation and removal is one of the objectives of basic research that are aimed to design new drugs for SLE.
