Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neutrophil extracellular traps are related to tissue damage, sepsis, thrombosis, cancer metastasis, and arteriosclerosis in addition to antibacterial activity. We have studied the effect of hemin on NET producing effects. Hemin induced NETs in a short period, and that was enhanced by the presence of oxidative stress. Deferasirox and acetate inhibited NET formation. Neutrophil activation, prerequisite for NET, was quantitatively detectable by using automated hematology analyzer. These results help the understanding of NET biology and provide a possible clinical detection method.
