Neutrophils, which constitute the predominant population of leukocytes, serve as the primary defensive mechanism of the immune system. The classification of white blood cells encompasses three distinct categories: granulocytes, lymphocytes, and monocytes. They function as a defense mechanism in safeguarding the body from potential infections and injuries, collectively. Neutrophils are generated inside the bone marrow and then circulate throughout the body through the bloodstream, as well as infiltrate various tissues and lymph nodes. Neutrophils are the first responders at the site of an immune system attack and rely on many mechanisms, such as the construction of traps and phagocytosis, to capture and eliminate invading germs or microbes. Recent research has amassed evidence indicating that neutrophils exhibit significant phenotypic variation and functional adaptability. This characteristic positions neutrophils as crucial regulators of both inflammation and immunological responses.

Formation of Neutrophils

The bone marrow generates a significant amount of neutrophils, which are derived from myeloblasts. The production rate of neutrophils is regulated by the cytokines IL-23 and IL-17, which are produced outside of the bone marrow. Additionally, infective and inflammatory conditions can also accelerate the turnover of neutrophils. Promyelocyte, myelocyte, metamyelocyte, band cell, and mature neutrophil are the stages in which the maturation process moves forward. In retaining mature cells within the bone marrow, the binding of ligands to chemokine receptors CXCR2 and CXCR4 plays a crucial role. When the growth factor granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is released, this retention gets over and these cells exit into the circulation. Once released into the bloodstream, neutrophils quickly die off.

Functions of Neutrophils

Chemotaxis: Reacting with chemotaxis molecules like interleukin-8 through cell surface receptors, neutrophils have the ability to migrate toward sites of infection or inflammation through a process called chemotaxis, which involves amoeboid movement.
Phagocytosis: Neutrophils are phagocytes that may consume foreign particles or germs. An antibody's opsonin coating is necessary for target recognition. They have the ability to engulf and destroy a wide variety of microorganisms by forming phagosomes that release reactive oxygen species and hydrolytic enzymes.
Degranulation: Degranulation is a process through which neutrophils release a wide variety of proteins organized into three distinct granules. These granules' antibacterial components provide assistance for fighting off infections.
Anti-Microbial: In response to cytokines released by activated endothelium, mast cells, and macrophages, highly mobile neutrophils rapidly migrate to the site of an infection. The inflammatory responses of other cell types are amplified by the cytokines that neutrophils produce and release.
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps: Neutrophil activation results in the release of DNA structures that resemble webs, which is a third way to kill bacteria. Webs of fibers made of chromatin and serine proteases, these neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) capture and destroy bacteria outside of cells. The potential mechanism is that NETs bind, disarm, and kill bacteria independently of phagocytic absorption because they offer a high local concentration of antimicrobial components. NETs may act as a physical barrier that hinders the transmission of diseases, in addition to their potential antibacterial effects.
Tumor-Associated Neutrophils: Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) may demonstrate a heightened extracellular acidification rate in the presence of heightened glycolysis levels. Some tumors, particularly those of the lungs, may only spread when there is a change in TANS metabolism.
