Cell-Free DNA Promotes Thrombin Autolysis and Generation of Thrombin-Derived C-Terminal Fragments

Abstract: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is the major structural component of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), an innate immune response to infection. Antimicrobial proteins and peptides bound to cfDNA play a critical role in the bactericidal property of NETs. Recent studies have shown that NETs have procoagulant activity, wherein cfDNA triggers thrombin generation through activation of the intrinsic pathway of coagulation. We have recently shown that thrombin binds to NETs in vitro and consequently can alter the proteome … Show more

“…Conversely, other NET constituents may be involved in protecting DNA from nucleases such as the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 [ 72 ]. Alternatively, thrombin may bind to NET, thus conferring mutual protection against nuclease and protease degradation [ 73 ], illustrating the complex interplay between coagulation and NET formation [ 74 ].…”

“…cfDNA can also be used for non-invasive prenatal Down syndrome screening ( Vrachnis et al, 2014 ; Malmir et al, 2021 ) and immune rejection surveillance after organ transplantation ( Snyder et al, 2016 ; Danovitch et al, 2021 ). The third source is the release of auto-activated DNA, cfDNA content is related to trauma, burn, infection, heart failure, stroke, and organ IRI level ( Tian et al, 2019 ; Dinsdale et al, 2020 ; Yokokawa et al, 2020 ; Zuo et al, 2020 ; Saravanan et al, 2021 ). The fourth source is tumor-derived ctDNA, which comprises a very small proportion of cfDNA.…”
