Monocyte clearance of apoptotic neutrophils is unhindered in the presence of NETosis, but proteins of NET trigger ETosis in monocytes.
Immunology Letters 2019 March
Resolution of inflammation needs effective and timely removal of dead cells and other toxic products of neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages. In this study, we evaluated the role of monocytes in the clearance of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) and apoptotic neutrophils in the inflammation site. For this, monocytes were observed microscopically after exposing them with NETs and/or apoptotic bodies. A subset of monocytes exposed to NETs ejected extracellular traps and this was shown to be mediated by proteins like elastase and citrullinated histones present in NET supernatant. Monocytes showed a preference for the internalisation of the apoptotic body when both NET and apoptotic bodies were present in the medium. The study provides new insight into the role of monocytes in the clearance of NET and apoptotic neutrophils and this information may open up a way in formulating therapeutic strategies for accelerating resolution of inflammation.
