Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Promote NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Glomerular Endothelial Dysfunction in Diabetic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease largely due to lifestyle and nutritional imbalance, resulting in insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and vascular complications. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of end-stage renal failure contributing to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therapeutic options to prevent or reverse DKD progression are limited. Endothelial and glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) dysfunction and sterile inflammation are associated with DKD. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), originally identified as an innate immune mechanism to combat infection, have been implicated in sterile inflammatory responses in non-communicable diseases. However, the contribution of NETs in DKD remains unknown. Here, we show that biomarkers of NETs are increased in diabetic mice and diabetic patients and that these changes correlate with DKD severity. Mechanistically, NETs promote NLRP3 inflammasome activation and glomerular endothelial dysfunction under high glucose stress in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of NETs (PAD4 inhibitor) ameliorate endothelial dysfunction and renal injury in DKD. Taken together, NET-induced sterile inflammation promotes diabetes-associated endothelial dysfunction, identifying a new pathomechanism contributing to DKD. Inhibition of NETs may be a promising therapeutic strategy in DKD.

Project description:BackgroundPreeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy complication characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, endothelial dysfunction, and complement dysregulation. Placenta-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), necessary in maternal-fetal communication, might contribute to PE pathogenesis. Moreover, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a pathogenic role in other complement-mediated pathologies, and their contribution in PE remains unexplored.Materials and methodsEVs were isolated from PE (peEVs) and normotensive pregnant women sera. NETs were obtained incubating donor-pre-activated neutrophils with PE or control sera. Microvascular (HMEC) endothelial cells (ECs) were incubated with PE or control sera with or without (depleted sera) EVs or NETs, to assess changes in VCAM-1, ICAM-1, VE-cadherin, eNOS, VWF, ROS, and C5b-9 deposits. Results were expressed as fold increase vs. control.ResultsVWF, VCAM-1, and ROS expression was significantly higher in cells exposed to PE sera vs. control (12.3 ± 8.1, 3.6 ± 2.3, and 1.8 ± 0.2, respectively, p < 0.05), though significantly lower in cells exposed to depleted PE (dPE) sera (6.1 ± 2.7, 0.7 ± 0.6, and 1.2 ± 0.1, respectively, vs. control, p < 0.05). EC exposure to depleted control sera supplemented with peEVs (dC+peEVs) significantly increased VWF, VCAM-1, and ROS compared to non-supplemented sera (4.5 ± 0.3, 2.8 ± 2.0, and 1.4 ± 0.2, respectively, p < 0.05). ICAM-1, VE-cadherin, and C5b-9 did not differ among groups. ECs incubated with PE-NETs increased VWF and VCAM-1 and decreased VE-cadherin expression vs. control (4 ± 1.6, 5.9 ± 1.2, and 0.5 ± 0.1, respectively, p < 0.05), and notably increased C5b-9 deposit (7.5 ± 2.9, p < 0.05). ICAM-1 and ROS did not differ.ConclusionsBoth circulating EVs and NETs from PE pregnant women exhibit a deleterious effect on ECs. Whereas EVs trigger a pro-oxidant and proinflammatory state, NETs potentiate the activation of the complement system, as already described in PE.
