Reprogramming of a subpopulation of human blood neutrophils by prolonged exposure to cytokines

Abstract: Essential cells of innate immunity, neutrophils are often considered to be a homogenous population of terminally differentiated cells. During inflammation, neutrophils are extravasated cells exposed to local factors that prolong their survival and activate their production of mediators implicated in disease progression. In this study, a phenotypically distinct subset of human neutrophils that appear after prolonged exposure to cytokines was characterized. Freshly isolated neutrophils from healthy donors were i… Show more

“…36 Moreover, subsets of neutrophils with distinct cytokine and chemokine production profiles, different effects on macrophage activation, and unique surface antigen expression have been identified in mice 37 and humans. 38 Our findings therefore further extend the current understanding of neutrophil characteristics in the mammalian immune system.…”

“…Exposure of neutrophils to bacterial components or cytokines can prolong their longevity, and these surviving neutrophils retain inflammatory and cytotoxic functions, including the secretion of critical mediators [22][23][24] . However, less information exists regarding neutrophils that survive spontaneous apoptosis in the absence of survival factors, which may also represent the subpopulation of neutrophils with the capacity for very prolonged survival with intact inflammatory function [24] .…”

“…Indeed, previous studies have described an increase in neutrophil CD11b expression in infants with respiratory distress syndrome (19). The presence of bacteria or cytokines prolongs the survival of neutrophils (20,21) (see Supplementary Reference 18 online). However, neutrophils may also persist without these coexisting factors and maintain Articles O'Hare et al…”
