Abstract:
:Over a decade ago, the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) was described as a novel mechanism employed by neutrophils to tackle infections. Currently applied methods for NETs release quantification are often limited by the use of unspecific dyes and technical difficulties. Therefore, we aimed to develop a fully automatic image processing method for the detection and quantification of NETs based on live imaging with the use of DNA-staining dyes. For this purpose, we adopted a recently proposed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model called Mask R-CNN. The adopted model detected objects with quality comparable to manual counting-Over 90% of detected cells were classified in the same manner as in manual labelling. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of GW 311616A (neutrophil elastase inhibitor) on NETs release, observed microscopically, was confirmed with the use of the CNN model but not by extracellular DNA release measurement. We have demonstrated that a modern CNN model outperforms a widely used quantification method based on the measurement of DNA release and can be a valuable tool to quantitate the formation process of NETs.
