Özet

Neutrophils are the most abundant leukocytes in the blood. They are rapidly mobilized from the circulation to sites of inflammation and/or infection. In affected tissues, neutrophils exhibit some dramatic antimicrobial functions, including degranulation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, phagocytosis, and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Like other cells of the immune system, after fulfilling their biological duties, they enter the path of death. Depending on the conditions, they may undergo different types of cell death (apoptosis, necrosis, necroptosis, autophagy, NETosis, and pyroptosis) that require the participation of multiple signaling pathways. NETosis is a unique neutrophil cell death mechanism that gives rise to different inflammatory and autoimmune pathological conditions. Recent studies have shown that NETosis also plays a role in the formation and/or progression of kidney diseases. This review discusses the underlying mechanism of NETosis and its relationship with some major kidney diseases in light of the current knowledge.
