Nirav Dhanesha Shares The Lab’s Latest Publication on Neutrophil CD14 and DVT Link

”Latest publication from our lab in Blood Advance, Blood Journals Portfolio
Beyond its common application as a lineage marker to identify monocytes in flow-cytometry assays, CD14 is highly expressed in neutrophils and serves as a functional driver of DVT.
In this study, we identifies neutrophil CD14 as a specific driver and therapeutic target for DVT.
CoreFindings:
Identification: Multiomic profiling (RNA-seq, proteomics, flow cytometry) reveals neutrophil CD14 overexpression within 3-hr of DVT onset.
Mechanism: Elevated plasma G-CSF drives this CD14 expression via the transcription factor C/EBPα.
InVivo Validation: Neutrophil-specific CD14 knockdown significantly reduces DVT severity.
Translational Relevance: In G-CSF-stimulated primary human neutrophils, CD14 inhibition reduces inflammation and NETosis.
These data establish the G-CSF/C/EBPα/CD14 axis as a primary mechanism in DVT pathogenesis and suggest CD14 as a viable site for therapeutic intervention.

Congratulations to the first authors, Nilesh Pandey and Harpreet Kaur, Ph.D., for their hard work and persistence.
Many thanks to all the collaborators and co-authors for their contributions to this work.”
