The primary immune response against Staphylococcus aureus is mediated by neutrophils. In response to S. aureus and its proteins, neutrophil shows two different kinds of NETosis, viz. suicidal and vesicular NETosis. Glucose is the major energy source of neutrophils for performing NETosis. However, NETosis was found altered in response to high glucose levels. Growth of S. aureus was also found modulated in response to high glucose and they behave differently at different glucose levels. This work was attempted to study NET release in response to S. aureus cell-free culture supernatant at different glucose concentrations. Freshly isolated neutrophils were treated with different concentrations of glucose along with S. aureus cell-free culture supernatant and were analyzed for neutrophil extracellular trap formation, ROS production, and peptidylarginine deiminase 4 activities. Influence of calcium on NETosis was analyzed using calcium chelator (EDTA) and calcium inhibitor (TMB-8).With increasing glucose levels, NET release in response to S. aureus cell-free culture supernatant was increased. Oxidant level was also increased dose-dependently with increasing concentrations of glucose. At very high glucose concentrations (> 15 mM), vesicular NETosis was predominantly observed. At these glucose concentrations, peptidylarginine deiminase activity was found to be decreased. Furthermore, calcium quenching in the medium facilitated vesicular mode of NET release.In conclusion, calcium depletion occurring at high glucose concentrations can reduce peptidylarginine deiminase 4 activity and can thereby promote the vesicular NET release.
