    Abstract This study analyzed the nuclease- and serum-driven degradation of millimeter-scale, circular DNA-histone mesostructures (DHMs). DHMs are bioengineered chromatin meshes of defined DNA and histone compositions designed as minimal mimetics of physiological extracellular chromatin structures, such as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Taking advantage of the defined circular shape of the DHMs, an automated time-lapse imaging and image analysis method was developed and used to track DHM degradation and shape changes over time. DHMs were degraded well by 10 U/mL concentrations of deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) but not by the same level of micrococcal nuclease (MNase), whereas NETs were degraded well by both nucleases. These comparative observations suggest that DHMs have a less accessible chromatin structure compared to NETs. DHMs were degraded by normal human serum, although at a slower rate than NETs. Interestingly, time-lapse images of DHMs revealed qualitative differences in the serum-mediated degradation process compared to that mediated by DNase I. Importantly, despite their reduced susceptibility to degradation and compositional simplicity, the DHMs mimicked NETs in being degraded to a greater extent by normal donor serum compared to serum from a lupus patient with high disease activity. These methods and insights are envisioned to guide the future development and expanded use of DHMs, beyond the previously reported antibacterial and immunostimulatory analyses, to extracellular chromatin-related pathophysiological and diagnostic studies.

    Abstract Abstract: Many patients with antiphospholipid syndrome had decreased ectonucleotidase activity on neutrophils and platelets, which enabled extracellular nucleotides to trigger neutrophil-platelet aggregates. This phenotype was replicated by treating healthy neutrophils and platelets with patient-derived antiphospholipid antibodies or ectonucleotidase inhibitors.

    Abstract Our study aimed to evaluate the presence, clinical associations, and potential mechanistic roles of non-criteria antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and circulating calprotectin, a highly stable marker of neutrophil extracellular trap release (NETosis), in pediatric APS patients. We found that 79% of pediatric APS patients had at least one non-criteria aPL at moderate-to-high titer. Univariate logistic regression demonstrated that positive anti-beta-2 glycoprotein I domain 1 (anti-D1) IgG (p = 0.008), anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin (aPS/PT) IgG (p < 0.001), and aPS/PT IgM (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with venous thrombosis. Positive anti-D1 IgG (p < 0.001), aPS/PT IgG (p < 0.001), and aPS/PT IgM (p = 0.001) were also associated with non-thrombotic manifestations of APS, such as thrombocytopenia. Increased levels of calprotectin were detected in children with APS. Calprotectin correlated positively with absolute neutrophil count (r = 0.63, p = 0.008) and negatively with platelet count (r = -0.59, p = 0.015). Mechanistically, plasma from pediatric APS patients with high calprotectin levels impaired platelet viability in a dose-dependent manner.

    Abstract Men are disproportionately affected by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), and face higher odds of severe illness and death compared to women. The vascular effects of androgen signaling and inflammatory cytokines in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-mediated endothelial injury are not defined. We determined the effects of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-mediated endothelial injury under conditions of exposure to androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) and tested potentially therapeutic effects of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism by spironolactone. Circulating endothelial injury markers VCAM-1 and E-selectin were measured in men and women diagnosed with COVID-19. Exposure of endothelial cells (ECs) in vitro to DHT exacerbated spike protein S1-mediated endothelial injury transcripts for the cell adhesion molecules E-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 and anti-fibrinolytic PAI-1 (

    Abstract Ginger is known to have antiinflammatory and antioxidative effects and has traditionally been used as an herbal supplement in the treatment of various chronic diseases. Here, we report antineutrophil properties of 6-gingerol, the most abundant bioactive compound of ginger root, in models of lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Specifically, we demonstrate that 6-gingerol attenuates neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) release in response to lupus- and APS-relevant stimuli through a mechanism that is at least partially dependent on inhibition of phosphodiesterases. At the same time, administration of 6-gingerol to mice reduces NET release in various models of lupus and APS, while also improving other disease-relevant endpoints, such as autoantibody formation and large-vein thrombosis. In summary, this study is the first to our knowledge to demonstrate a protective role for ginger-derived compounds in the context of lupus. Importantly, it provides a potential mechanism for these effects via phosphodiesterase inhibition and attenuation of neutrophil hyperactivity.
