Antioxidants reduce PVL-stimulated release of neutrophil secretion products and NETosis. Supernatants from human neutrophils stimulated ±PVL (25 nmol/L) or PMA (100 nM), in the absence and presence of either taurine (10 mmol/L) or resveratrol (50 µmol/L), for 1 h (a-d), or with vehicle controls NaCl (0.9%) and DMSO (0.05% in PBS) for taurine and resveratrol, respectively (e-h), were analysed by ELISA for: alpha-defensins HNP1–3 release (a, e), acrolein-bound protein formation (b, f), myeloperoxidase (MPO) release (c, g) or nucleosomes as a surrogate marker for NET formation (d, h). Data show mean ± SD from 3 independent experiments. Flow cytometric data represent means + SD of three independent experiments. Statistical significance was analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test (*p < 0.05, vs PVL or PMA without antioxidant).
