Neutrophil extracellular traps promote lipopolysaccharide-induced airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion in mice
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contributes to airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion in chronic airway inflammatory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are extracellular meshworks composed of DNA fibers and antimicrobial proteins. Although NET formation has been detected in COPD and CF patients,...
متن کاملBerberine attenuates cigarette smoke-induced airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion in mice.
Cigarette smoke-induced airway inflammationmucus over-production is one of the most important pathogenic features of chronic airway diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effect of berberine, a plant alkaloid with strong anti-inflammatory property, on cigarette smoke-induced airway inflammation and mucushypersecretion in mice. Mice with exposure to cigarette smoke wereintraperitonealy in...
متن کاملEBM84 attenuates airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion in an ovalbumin-induced murine model of asthma.
EBM84 is a traditional herbal medicine and a combination of extracts obtained from Pinellia ternata and Zingiber officinale. It is traditionally used to treat vomiting, nausea, sputum and gastrointestinal disorders, and functions is an effective expectorant. In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of EBM84 on asthmatic responses, particularly mucus hypersecretion in an ovalbumin (OVA...
متن کاملNeutrophil Extracellular Traps and Its Implications in Inflammation: An Overview
In addition to physical barriers, neutrophils are considered a part of the first line of immune defense. They can be found in the bloodstream, with a lifespan of 6-8 h, and in tissue, where they can last up to 7 days. The mechanisms that neutrophils utilize for host defense are phagocytosis, degranulation, cytokine production, and, the most recently described, neutrophil extracellular trap (NET...
متن کاملPlatelets and neutrophil extracellular traps collaborate to promote intravascular coagulation during sepsis in mice.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs; webs of DNA coated in antimicrobial proteins) are released into the vasculature during sepsis where they contribute to host defense, but also cause tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Various components of NETs have also been implicated as activators of coagulation. Using multicolor confocal intravital microscopy in mouse models of sepsis, we observed prof...
