Neutrophil extracellular traps: The core player in vascular complications of diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome 2019 September
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most important metabolic disease with major threat for public health and increased risk of premature death. The prevalence of DM steadily rises in developing and developed countries achieving the epidemic level. Manifestation and progression of DM corresponds to developing vasculopathies, such as retinopathy, micro- and macro angiopathies, which negatively influence on clinical outcomes and quality-of-life. Although there are remarkable differences in the prevalence of vasculopathy in various types of DM, hyperglycemia and lipotoxicity are discussed as a major factors contributing to vascular complications partly through inducing neutrophil extracellular trap (NET). The NET or NETosis is unique form of cell death, which is an important core component of innate immune system. The review is dedicated the role of NET as a link between endothelium, inflammation and thrombosis that is crucial for development of DM-induced vasculopathy. It has suggested that NET formation could be not just a target for the DM care, but also a biomarker for stratification of DM patients at higher risk of vascular complications.
