- BONE MARROW CELLS TRANSPLANT IN SEPTIC MICE MODULATES SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE VIA CELL-CELL CONTACT(2019) LORIGADOS, Clara B.; ARIGA, Suely K. K.; LIMA, Thais M. de; BARBEIRO, Denise F.; KRIEGER, Jose E.; SORIANO, Francisco G.Sepsis is a dynamic disease, displaying an inflammatory profile that varies over time and for each organ. Controlling the inflammatory response based in targeting a single molecule has been proved useless. We hypothesized that treatment with bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMDMCs) may be more efficient to modulate the systemic inflammatory response to infection. Adult male Balb/c mice were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or endotoxemia model of experimental sepsis. BMDMCs were separated under Ficoll gradient and injected intravenously 1 h after the procedures. Cytokines concentration was quantified in plasma, lungs, heart, and gut. Spleens, lymph nodes, and thymus were used for lymphocytes isolation and cell death assessment. All measurements were performed 2 h after BMDMCs injection. RAW264.7 macrophages and BMDMCs were cocultivated in vitro to investigate the mechanisms involved. Our data showed that an early single intravenous injection of BMDMCs in animals submitted to the murine model of endotoxemia led to the improvement of survival rate; BMDMCs persistency in lung, liver, and spleen after 24 h; decreased necrosis and apoptosis of mononuclear cells; lower TNF-a, but increased IL-10 concentration in plasma; and tissue-specific cytokine profile. In vitro experiments demonstrated that IL-6, IL-10, and nitric oxide production depends on direct contact of BMDMCs to macrophages and that TNF-a production is negatively regulated by PGE2. BMDMCs are efficient in protecting animals from endotoxemia and sepsis, reducing systemic inflammation as well as specifically modulating tissue inflammation, producing the necessary immune regulation to re-equilibrate the inflammatory response.
- ENDOTOXIN TOLERANCE DRIVES NEUTROPHIL TO INFECTIOUS SITE(2014) ARIGA, Suely Kubo; ABATEPAULO, Fatima Bernardes; MELO, Edielle Sant Anna; VELASCO, Irineu Tadeu; SILVA, Fabiano Pinheiro da; LIMA, Thais Martins de; SORIANO, Francisco GarciaThe objective of this randomized animal study and laboratory investigation was to investigate whether lipopolysaccharide tolerance redirects neutrophil migration between organs. Male BALB/c mice received subcutaneous injections of lipopolysaccharide (1 mg/kg) for 5 days, followed by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Cytokines and adhesion molecules were measured after tolerance and CLP challenge. Increased numbers of neutrophils were observed in the peritoneal cavity of tolerant mice, which was associated with increased levels of adhesion molecules and chemokines. In contrast, nontolerant mice accumulated higher numbers of neutrophils in the lungs compared with those in the peritoneal cavity. Neutrophil function accessed by hydrogen peroxide production from neutrophils recovered from peritoneal cavity showed that tolerance increased the capacity to produce hydrogen peroxide. Mortality was reduced in tolerant animals. This study demonstrated that tolerance reduces leukocyte accumulation in the lung after CLP by redirecting neutrophils to the site of infection.
