Intravascular Neutrophil-Derived NETs Drive Tumor Necrosis and Metastasis
Major Finding: A Ly6GhighLy6Clow subset of neutrophils drives pleomorphic necrosis by forming intravascular neutrophil extracellular traps (NET).Concept: Tumor cells adjacent to neutrophil-induced necrotic regions undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.Impact: Genetic or pharmacologic blockade of NET formation reduces pleomorphic necrosis and metastasis.
