Is neutrophil NET formation regulated from the inside by myeloperoxidase-processed reactive oxygen species?
We show for the first time that inhibition of intragranular MPO activity, or neutralization of intragranular MPO-processed ROS by luminol effectively block NET formation. Our data demonstrate that ROS must be formed and processed by MPO in order to trigger NET formation, and that these events have to occur within intracellular granules.
In numerous cancer entities miR-1 is defined as an antiproliferative tumor suppressor. Notably, the present study demonstrated a loss of growth-inhibitory functionality of miR-1 by so far unknown mechanisms, suggesting dysregulated miR-1 signaling or effector cascades in OC cells.
