Intravascular hemolysis, a major manifestation of sickle cell disease (SCD) and other diseases, incurs the release of hemoglobin and heme from red blood cells, in turn triggering inflammatory processes. This study investigated the in vitro effects of heme, a major inflammatory DAMP, on the adhesive properties of isolated human neutrophils. Heme (20 and 50 µM) significantly increased the adhesion of neutrophils to fibronectin and to recombinant ICAM-1, under static conditions, even more efficiently than the potent pro-infla
