Abstract
Neutrophils interact with Leishmania when the sandfly vector inoculates these parasites in the host with saliva and promastigotes-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). It has been shown that this co-injection induces inflammation and exacerbates leishmaniasis lesions. EVs are a heterogeneous group of vesicles released by cells that play a crucial role in intercellular communication. Neutrophils are among the first cells to interact with the parasites and release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that ensnare and kill the promastigotes. Here, we show that Leishmania amazonensis EVs induce NET formation and identify molecular mechanisms involved. We showed the requirement of neutrophils' Toll-like receptors (TLRs) for EVs-induced NET. EVs carrying the virulence factors lipophosphoglycan (LPG) and the zinc metalloproteases were endocytosed by some neutrophils and snared by NETs. EVs-induced NET formation required reactive oxygen species, myeloperoxidase, elastase, peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD), and Ca++. The proteomic analysis of the EVs cargo revealed 1,189 proteins; the 100 most abundant identified comprised some known Leishmania virulent factors. Importantly, L. amazonensis EVs-induced NETs lead to the killing of promastigotes and could participate in the exacerbated inflammatory response induced by the EVs, which may play a role in the pathogenesis process.
期刊介绍:
JLB is a peer-reviewed, academic journal published by the Society for Leukocyte Biology for its members and the community of immunobiologists. The journal publishes papers devoted to the exploration of the cellular and molecular biology of granulocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, lymphocytes, NK cells, and other cells involved in host physiology and defense/resistance against disease. Since all cells in the body can directly or indirectly contribute to the maintenance of the integrity of the organism and restoration of homeostasis through repair, JLB also considers articles involving epithelial, endothelial, fibroblastic, neural, and other somatic cell types participating in host defense. Studies covering pathophysiology, cell development, differentiation and trafficking; fundamental, translational and clinical immunology, inflammation, extracellular mediators and effector molecules; receptors, signal transduction and genes are considered relevant. Research articles and reviews that provide a novel understanding in any of these fields are given priority as well as technical advances related to leukocyte research methods.
