Splenectomy protects against sepsis lethality and reduces serum HMGB1 levels.

Abstract

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a critical mediator of lethal sepsis. Previously, we showed that apoptotic cells can activate macrophages to release HMGB1. During sepsis, apoptosis occurs primarily in lymphoid organs, including the spleen and thymus. Currently, it is unclear whether this accelerated lymphoid organ apoptosis contributes to systemic release of HMGB1 in sepsis. In this study, we report that splenectomy significantly reduces systemic HMGB1 release and improves survival in mice with polymicrobial sepsis. Treatment with a broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor reduces systemic lymphocyte apoptosis, suppresses circulating HMGB1 concentrations, and improves survival during polymicrobial sepsis, but fails to protect septic mice following splenectomy. These findings indicate that apoptosis in the spleen is essential to the pathogenesis of HMGB1-mediated sepsis lethality.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
