JNK Activation Turns on LPS- and Gram-Negative Bacteria-Induced NADPH Oxidase-Dependent Suicidal NETosis #MMPMID28611461
Neutrophils cast neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to ensnare microbial pathogens. Nevertheless, the molecular rheostats that regulate NETosis in response to bacteria are not clearly established. We hypothesized that stress-activated protein kinase or c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (SAPK/JNK) is a molecular switch that turns on NETosis in response to increasing concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and Gram-negative bacteria. Here we show that Escherichia coli LPS (0111:B4; 10?25??g/ml), but not phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), activates JNK in human neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner. JNK inhibitors SP600125 and TCSJNK6o, and a TLR4 inhibitor TAK242 suppress reactive oxygen species production and NETosis in LPS-, but not PMA-treated neutrophils. Diphenyleneiodonium suppresses LPS-induced NETosis, confirming that endotoxin induces NADPH oxidase-dependent NETosis. Immunoblots, Sytox Green assays, and confocal microscopy of cleaved caspase-3 and nuclear morphology show that JNK inhibition does not induce apoptosis in LPS-stimulated neutrophils. JNK inhibition also suppresses NETosis induced by two typical Gram-negative bacteria, E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Therefore, we propose that neutrophils use a TLR4-dependent, JNK-mediated molecular sensing mechanism to initiate NADPH oxidase-dependent suicidal NETosis in response to increasing concentrations of LPS, and Gram-negative bacteria. The LPS-TLR4-JNK activation axis determines the fate of these cells: to be or not to be NETotic neutrophils.
