An efficient neutrophil response is critical for fighting bacterial infections, which remain a significant global health concern; therefore, modulating neutrophil function could be an effective therapeutic approach. While we have a general understanding of how neutrophils respond to bacteria, how neutrophil function differs in response to diverse bacterial infections remains unclear. Here, we use a microfluidic infection-on-a-chip device to investigate the neutrophil response to four bacterial species: , , , and We find enhanced neutrophil extravasation to , a limited overall response to , and identify IL-6 as universally important for neutrophil extravasation. Furthermore, we demonstrate a higher percentage of neutrophils generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) when combating gram-negative bacteria versus gram-positive bacteria. For all bacterial species, we found the percentage of neutrophils producing ROS increased following extravasation through an endothelium, underscoring the importance of studying neutrophil function in physiologically relevant models.
有效的中性粒细胞反应对于对抗细菌感染至关重要,而细菌感染仍是全球重大的健康问题;因此,调节中性粒细胞功能可能是一种有效的治疗方法。虽然我们对中性粒细胞如何应对细菌有了大致了解,但中性粒细胞功能在应对不同细菌感染时如何不同仍不清楚。在这里,我们使用一种微流控芯片上感染装置来研究中性粒细胞对四种细菌物种的反应: 、 、 和 。我们发现中性粒细胞向 的渗出增强,对 的总体反应有限,并确定白细胞介素-6对中性粒细胞渗出普遍重要。此外,我们证明与革兰氏阳性菌相比,中性粒细胞在对抗革兰氏阴性菌时产生活性氧(ROS)的百分比更高。对于所有细菌物种,我们发现通过内皮渗出后产生ROS的中性粒细胞百分比增加,这突出了在生理相关模型中研究中性粒细胞功能的重要性。
