N2 - The signaling mechanisms leading to the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), relevant in infections, sepsis and autoimmune diseases, are poorly understood. Neutrophils are not amenable to studies with conventional genetic techniques. Using a new chemical genetic analysis we show that the Raf-MEK-ERK pathway is involved in NET formation through activation of NADPH oxidase and upregulation of antiapoptotic proteins. We identify potential targets for drugs addressing NET-associated diseases.
