Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an autoimmune disease with still unknown etiology. Recent studies indicate that neutrophils extra-cellular traps participate in the pathophysiology of GPA. This study investigates the levels of circulating NET formation markers and neutrophil-platelet interaction in patients with GPA. We enrolled 40 GPA patients (20 in the active stage of the disease and 20 in remission). Twenty sex- and age-matched healthy subjects served as a control group. Serum/plasma levels of serine proteases, and histone-, myeloperoxidase-, proteinase-3 DNA complexes and sP-selectin were measured using ELISA or Luminex assays. Circulating platelet-neutrophil aggregates and neutrophils activation markers expression was measured by flow cytometry. Patients in active stage of GPA had higher circulating levels of serine proteases, DNA-histone and myeloperoxidase -DNA complexes. In addition, platelet-neutrophil aggregates and sP-selectin were also elevated in this group. Platelet-neutrophil aggregates and myeloperoxidase -DNA complexes correlated positively with the disease activity score (BVAS). NETs production and activation of platelets in GPA is supported by elevated myeloperoxidase-DNA complexes and platelet-neutrophil aggregates correlating positively with the disease activity score. This mechanism justifies laboratory measurements of myeloperoxidase-DNA complexes and plasma sP-selectin as biomarkers for studying GPA activity.
