Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic presentation of the pathway from NET formation and IL-17A production in the peritoneal cavity to remote organ injuries in the CLP model. CLP upregulated neutrophil accumulation and PAD4 mediated NET formation in the peritoneal cavity (Fig. ). CLP increased IL-17A production in PLF and plasma, which was significantly decreased by Pad4 knockout (Fig. C and D). Knockout of Il-17a significantly decreased CXCL-1 and -2 production in PLF after CLP (Fig. A). Knockout of Il-17a decreased NET formation in peritoneal cavity after CLP (Figs. C and A–D). Recombinant IL-17A, CXCL-1 and -2 upregulated NET formation in PLF cells collected from WT mice at 3 h after CLP ex vivo (Fig. E and F). Pad4 KO as well as Il-17a KO significantly decreased CXCL-1 and -2 production in kidney and lung, neutrophil infiltration into kidney and lung, and AKI after CLP (Figs. and ). Pad4 KO significantly improved survival after CLP (Fig. A). Adoptive transfer of WT neutrophil into Pad4 KO mice restored IL-17A production in PLF and plasma, CXCL-1 and -2 production in kidney and lung, neutrophil infiltration into kidney and lung, and AKI (Fig. ).
