Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes induce and are killed by neutrophil extracellular traps

TL;DR: This work investigated the release of NETs by human neutrophils upon their interaction with Leishmania parasites and NETs' ability to kill this protozoan and found an innate response that might contribute to diminish parasite burden in the Leishmaniasis inoculation site.
Journal ArticleDOI

Classical ROS-dependent and early/rapid ROS-independent release of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps triggered by Leishmania parasites

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that promastigotes induce a classical netosis, dependent on the cellular redox imbalance, as well as by a chloroamidine sensitive and elastase activity mechanism, which could support the development of new potential therapeutic strategies for leishmaniasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

ETosis: A Microbicidal Mechanism beyond Cell Death.

TL;DR: The mechanism of NETosis/etosis is reviewed, emphasizing its role in diseases caused by protozoan parasites, fungi, and viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Metabolic Shift toward Pentose Phosphate Pathway Is Necessary for Amyloid Fibril- and Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate-induced Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) Formation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a metabolic shift toward the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is necessary for NET release because glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), an important enzyme from PPP, fuels NADPH oxidase with NADPH to produce superoxide and thus induce NETs.
