Abstract

Neutrophils are the most abundant innate immune cells in the circulation and they are the first cells recruited to sites of infection or inflammation. Almost half of the intracellular protein content in neutrophils consists of S100A8 and S100A9, though there has been controversy about their actual localization. Once released extracellularly, these proteins are thought to act as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), though their mechanism of action is not well understood. These S100 proteins mainly form heterodimers (S100A8/A9, also known as calprotectin) and this heterocomplex is recognized as a useful biomarker for several inflammatory diseases. We observed that S100A8/A9 is highly present in the cytoplasmic fraction of neutrophils and is not part of the granule content. Furthermore, we found that S100A8/A9 was not released in parallel with granular content but upon the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Accordingly, neutrophils of patients with chronic granulomatous disease, who are deficient in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced NETosis, did not release S100A8/A9 upon PMA stimulation. Moreover, we purified S100A8/A9 from the cytoplasmic fraction of neutrophils and found that S100A8/A9 could induce neutrophil activation, including adhesion and CD11b upregulation, indicating that this DAMP might amplify neutrophil activation.
