Journal ArticleDOI

Nicotine induces neutrophil extracellular traps

TL;DR: It is reported that nicotine induces neutrophils to release NETs in a dose‐dependent manner, which may in turn contribute to smoking‐related diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vibrio cholerae evades neutrophil extracellular traps by the activity of two extracellular nucleases.

TL;DR: A first comprehensive characterization of the interplay between neutrophils and V. cholerae is provided along with new evidence that the innate immune response impacts the colonization of V.Cholerae in vivo, which may enhance survival fitness of the pathogen through NET degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable Redox-Cycling Nitroxide Tempol Inhibits NET Formation.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (Tempol) on NET formation triggered by phorbol esters and Candida albicans was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of the DNA Damage Repair Kinase ATM Impairs Inflammasome-Dependent Anti-Bacterial Innate Immunity

TL;DR: An unanticipated function of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in negative regulation of inflammasomes is revealed and a theory for the notable susceptibility of AT patients to pulmonary bacterial infection is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of YopK in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Resistance against Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Defense

TL;DR: It is shown that the virulence protein YopK has a role in the mechanism by which Y. pseudotuberculosis avoids the polymorphonuclear leukocyte or neutrophil (PMN) defense, and a mechanism wherebyYopK functions to prevent unintended Yop delivery and thereby PMN disruption, resulting in necrosis-like cell death, which would enhance the inflammatory response favoring the host.
