Neutrophil extracellular trap-microparticle complexes enhance thrombin generation via the intrinsic pathway of coagulation in mice
(2018) In Scientific Reports 8(1).- Abstract
Abdominal sepsis is associated with dysfunctional hemostasis. Thrombin generation (TG) is a rate-limiting step in systemic coagulation. Neutrophils can expell neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and/or microparticles (MPs) although their role in pathological coagulation remains elusive. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced TG in vivo was reflected by a reduced capacity of plasma from septic animals to generate thrombin. Depletion of neutrophils increased TG in plasma from CLP mice. Sepsis was associated with increased histone 3 citrullination in neutrophils and plasma levels of cell-free DNA and DNA-histone complexes and administration of DNAse not only eliminated NET formation but also elevated TG in sepsis. Isolated NETs... (More)
Abdominal sepsis is associated with dysfunctional hemostasis. Thrombin generation (TG) is a rate-limiting step in systemic coagulation. Neutrophils can expell neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and/or microparticles (MPs) although their role in pathological coagulation remains elusive. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced TG in vivo was reflected by a reduced capacity of plasma from septic animals to generate thrombin. Depletion of neutrophils increased TG in plasma from CLP mice. Sepsis was associated with increased histone 3 citrullination in neutrophils and plasma levels of cell-free DNA and DNA-histone complexes and administration of DNAse not only eliminated NET formation but also elevated TG in sepsis. Isolated NETs increased TG and co-incubation with DNAse abolished NET-induced formation of thrombin. TG triggered by NETs was inhibited by blocking factor XII and abolished in factor XII-deficient plasma but intact in factor VII-deficient plasma. Activation of neutrophils simultaneously generated large amount of neutrophil-derived MPs, which were found to bind to NETs via histone-phosphatidylserine interactions. These findings show for the first time that NETs and MPs physically interact, and that NETs might constitute a functional assembly platform for MPs. We conclude that NET-MP complexes induce TG via the intrinsic pathway of coagulation and that neutrophil-derived MPs play a key role in NET-dependent coagulation.
