Pancreatic cancer (PaCa) is a highly metastatic cancer, and patients are at high
risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). Neutrophil extracellular traps
(NETs) have been associated with cancer metastasis and cancer-associated
thrombosis, but the ability of cancer to stimulate NET release is not known. The
release of NETs has been shown to be a slow process and requires reactive oxygen
species (ROS) production. Studies suggest that activated platelets are important
mediators in the release. Here, we show that PaCa cells can stimulate the rapid
release of NETs, independently of ROS production. We further assessed the role of
platelets in PaCa-induced NETs and observed a trend of increased the NET release
by PaCa-primed platelets. Additionally, NETs promoted thrombus formation under
venous shear stress ex vivo. Taken together, our results suggest that
PaCa-induced NETs can contribute to the high risk of venous thromboembolism
development in PaCa patients, and reveal NETs as a potential therapeutic target.
