Inhibition of S100A8/A9 ameliorates neuroinflammation by blocking NET formation following traumatic brain injury by Guihong Shi, Yiyao Cao, Jianye Xu, Bo Chen, Xu Zhang, Yanlin Zhu, Liang Liu, Xilei Liu, Luyuan Zhang, Yuan Zhou, Shenghui Li, Guili Yang, Xiao Liu, Fanglian Chen, Xin Chen, Jianning Zhang, Shu Zhang

“…Inhibition of S100A8/A9 effectively attenuated NET-mediated neuroinflammation; however, when PAD4 was overexpressed in the brain using adenovirus, leading to an increased formation of NET in the brain, the anti-inflammatory effects of S100A8/A9 inhibition were markedly diminished. Further experiments with PAD4 knockout mice confirmed that the reduction of NETs could substantially alleviate S100A8/A9-driven neuroinflammation. …”
