Extracellular DNA (abbr. eDNA) - also: cfDNA [Cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid] - and fragments derived thereof have been reported to act as a DAMPs [damage-associated molecular patterns] (for comparison see also: mitochondrial DNA, Extracellular RNAs) (for overview see also: Magna and Pisetsky, 2016).
eDNA has been shown to trigger the synthesis of complement factor B in macrophages in response to endogenous damage in a process that dependes on another danger signal, HMGB1 [high mobility group box-1], MyD88 and NF-kappa-B
