Characterization of Early-Phase Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Urinary Tract Infections


ABSTRACT: Neutrophils have an important role in rapid antimicrobial defenses against and resolution of urinary tract infections (UTIs). We show that a mechanism known as neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is a strategy to combat pathogens in the urinary tract. Viscous aggregates that were present in human urine sediments revealed high extracellular DNA content. The DNA formed a scaffold to which antimicrobial effector proteins derived from different neutrophil subcellular compartments bound. Treatment with deoxyribonuclease I solubilized these structures. We observed massive proteolytic degradation in the NETs with apparently dominant roles for the neutrophil granule proteases elastase, proteinase 3, and cathepsin G. In a UTI case with Staphylococcus aureus as the infectious agent, high abundance of autolysins and immune evasion factors in a cell-free NET extract suggested that controlled cell wall autolysis plays a role in derailing the host immune response and allows some bacterial cells to survive following entrapment in NETs.

Neutrophils have an important role in the antimicrobial defense and resolution of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Our research suggests that a mechanism known as neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is a defense strategy to combat pathogens that have invaded the urinary tract. A set of human urine specimens with very high neutrophil counts had microscopic evidence of cellular aggregation and lysis. Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase) treatment resulted in disaggregation of such structures, rel  ...[more]
