Recent studies have revealed that excessive neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are involved in microcirculation disorders. This study aimed to demonstrate that mPSL pulse could induce NETs in lupus mice and identify the factors contributing to this induction.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Six mice with imiquimod (IMQ)-induced lupus-like disease and six normal mice were intraperitoneally injected with mPSL on days 39 to 41, and five mice with IMQ-induced lupus-like disease and six normal mice were injected with phosphate-buffered saline. Pathological examinations were conducted to evaluate the ischaemic state of the femoral head and tissue infiltration of NET-forming neutrophils. Proteome analysis was performed to extract plasma proteins specifically elevated in mPSL-administered mice with IMQ-induced lupus-like disease, and their effects on NET formation were assessed in vitro.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Mice with IMQ-induced lupus-like disease that received mPSL pulse demonstrated ischaemia of the femoral head cartilage with tissue infiltration of NET-forming neutrophils. Proteome analysis suggested that prenylcysteine oxidase 1 (PCYOX1) played a role in this phenomenon. The reaction of PCYOX1-containing very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) with its substrate farnesylcysteine (FC) induced NETs in vitro. The combined addition of IMQ and mPSL synergistically enhanced VLDL-plus-FC-induced NET formation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
