Abstract
IsoLGs (isolevuglandins) are electrophilic products of lipid peroxidation formed in the presence of reactive oxygen species. IsoLGs contribute to hypertension by an unknown mechanism. Studies have shown that reactive oxygen species production drives the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and that NETs accumulate within the aorta and kidneys of patients with hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of isoLGs in neutrophil migration and NET formation (NETosis) in hypertension. Mice were treated with Ang II (angiotensin II) and the specific isoLG scavenger 2-hydroxybenzylamine and examined for tissue neutrophil and NET accumulation by single-cell sequencing and flow cytometry. Isolated human neutrophils were studied to determine the role of isoLGs in NETosis and neutrophil chromatin expansion by immunofluorescence and live cell confocal microscopy. Single-cell sequencing performed on sham, Ang II, and Ang II+2-hydroxybenzylamine treated mice revealed neutrophils as a primary target of 2-hydroxybenzylamine. Peripheral neutrophil migration, aortic NET accumulation, and renal NET accumulation is blocked with 2-hydroxybenzylamine treatment. In isolated human neutrophils, isoLGs accumulate during NETosis and scavenging of isoLGs prevents NETosis. IsoLGs drive neutrophil chromatin expansion during NETosis and disrupt nucleosome structure. These observations identified a critical role of isoLGs in neutrophil migration and NETosis in hypertension and provide a potential therapy for NET-associated diseases including hypertension and associated end organ damage.
