Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are DNA structures released by neutrophils.
  • NETosis, the process of NET formation, can be suicidal (cell death) or vital (preserving cell function).
  • While essential for pathogen elimination, excessive NET formation poses risks to the host.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare current methods for evaluating NETosis.
  • To highlight the importance of NETosis markers and detection techniques.
  • To guide researchers in selecting appropriate NETosis evaluation methods.

Main Methods:

  • Immunocytological and immunohistological detection of NET components (DNA, proteins, citrullinated histones).
  • Detection of NET remnants in fluid samples.
  • Flow cytometry for cell-appendant NET components.

Main Results:

  • Various methods exist for NETosis evaluation, each with specific advantages and limitations.
  • Key markers include co-localized neutrophil proteins, extracellular DNA, and citrullinated histones.
  • No single gold standard method for NETosis detection has been established.

Conclusions:

  • Choosing the right NETosis evaluation method requires understanding its specificity, objectivity, and quantitativity.
  • Researchers must select methods based on the specific experimental context and the method's strengths and weaknesses.
  • Further development and standardization of NETosis detection methods are needed.
