To examine how NETs affect immune functions in T1D, we investigated NET composition and their effect on dendritic cells (DCs) and T lymphocytes in T1D children. We showed that T1D patient NET composition differs substantially from that of healthy donors and that the presence of T1D-NETs in a mixed peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture caused a strong shift toward IFN$\gamma$-producing T lymphocytes, mediated through activation of innate immunity cells in T1D samples. Importantly, in a monocyte-derived DC (moDC) culture, NETs induced cytokine production, phenotypic change and IFN$\gamma$-producing T cells only in samples from T1D patients but not in those from healthy donors. RNA-seq analysis revealed that T1D-NETs presence causes TGF$\beta$ downregulation and IFN$\alpha$ upregulation and creates pro-T1D signature in healthy moDCs.}, issn = {1664-3224}, doi = {10.3389/fimmu.2020.00661}, url = {https://macau.uni-kiel.de/receive/macau_mods_00000858}, url = {https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2020.00661}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32346380}, file = {:https://macau.uni-kiel.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/macau_derivate_00001899/fimmu-11-00661.pdf:PDF}, language = {en} }
