ABSTRACT
Release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is one of the neutrophils' mechanisms involved in the response to infection. NETs are released from the cell in response to a biological or synthetic stimulus to entrap, immobilize and kill pathogens. Metal ions and metal binding proteins were identified in the structure of NETs, but their role in NET release remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess how lack of iron and zinc generated by ion sequestration using chelators affects NET release. Neutrophils were isolated from whole blood or buffy coats of healthy blood donors by density gradient centrifugation and incubated with zinc chelators 20 µM N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN), 40 µM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) or iron chelators 400 µM deferoxamine mesylate salt (DFO) and 50 µM iminodiacetic acid (IDA). Next, 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was added to stimulate release of NETs. The amount of released DNA was measured by fluorometry and NETs were visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy. This study demonstrates that iron and zinc chelators are able to modulate NET release. Here we show that preincubation of neutrophils with TPEN and IDA inhibits NET release in cells stimulated with PMA. On the other hand, DFO stimulates NET release. Incubation of cells with DTPA does not affect release of NETs.
