Adrenergic modulation of survival and cellular immune functions during polymicrobial sepsis

Neuroimmunomodulation
Reiner OberbeckMichael S Exton

Abstract

An immunomodulatory effect of epinephrine has been reported that is supposed to be mediated via beta-adrenergic receptors. The effect of epinephrine and/or beta-adrenergic blockade on cellular immune functions during systemic inflammation has not yet been investigated. Male NMRI mice were treated with either an infusion of epinephrine (0.05 mg/kg/h i.p.), administration of the nonselective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol (0.5 mg/kg s.c.), or a combination of epinephrine and propranolol after induction of a polymicrobial sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture. Forty-eight hours thereafter survival and cellular immune functions (splenocyte proliferation, splenocyte apoptosis and cytokine release, distribution of leukocyte subsets) were determined. Infusion of epinephrine did not affect lethality of septic mice but induced alterations of splenocyte apoptosis, splenocyte proliferation and IL-2 release and was associated with profound changes of circulating immune cell subpopulations. Treatment with propranolol augmented the epinephrine-induced increase of splenocyte apoptosis, did not affect the decrease of splenocyte proliferation and IL-2 release, augmented the release of IL-6 and antagonized the mobilization of natural k...Continue Reading
