“…Although the importance of NETosis in host immunity to infections has been well established (Brinkmann et al, 2004;Chen et al, 2018;Kovacs et al, 2020;Li et al, 2010), NETosis dysregulation also associates to autoimmunity, host tissue damages, aberrant coagulation and thrombus that all contribute to pathology such as sepsis or autoimmune lupus (Apel et al, 2021;Biron et al, 2018;Fuchs et al, 2010;Kahlenberg et al, 2013;Knackstedt et al, 2019;Kumar et al, 2015;Lefrançais et al, 2018;Martinod et al, 2015). Specifically, P. aeruginosa bacterial strains that express the necrotizing ExoU phospholipase virulence factor of the patatin-like phospholipase A2 family, promote organ damage-dependent acute respiratory distress syndrome (Bagayoko et al, 2021;Howell et al, 2013;Phillips et al, 2003;Sato et al, 2003).…”
