Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Background: Sepsis Sepsis is a major world-wide medical problem with high morbidity and mortality. Gram-negative bacteria are among the most important pathogens of sepsis and their LPS LPS content is regarded to be important for the systemic inflammatory reaction. The CD14 CD14 /myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD-2 MD-2 )/TLR4 complex plays a major role in the immune response to LPS LPS . The aim of this study was to compare the effects of inhibiting MD-2 MD-2 and CD14 CD14 on ultra-pure LPS LPS - versus whole E. coli E. coli bacteria-induced responses. Methods: Fresh human whole blood was incubated with upLPS or whole E. coli E. coli bacteria in the presence of MD-2 MD-2 or CD14 CD14 neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, or their respective controls, and/or the specific complement-inhibitor compstatin. Cytokines Cytokines were measured by a multiplex (n = 27) assay. NFκB activity was examined in cells transfected with CD14 CD14 , MD-2 MD-2 and/or Toll-like receptors. Results: LPS LPS -induced cytokine response was efficiently and equally abolished by MD-2 MD-2 and CD14 CD14 neutralization. In contrast, the response induced by whole E. coli E. coli bacteria was only modestly reduced by MD-2 MD-2 neutralization, whereas CD14 CD14 neutralization was more efficient. Combination with compstatin enhanced the effect of MD-2 MD-2 neutralization slightly. When compstatin was combined with CD14 CD14 neutralization, however, the response was virtually abolished for all cytokines, including IL-17, which was only inhibited by this combination. The MD-2 MD-2 -independent effect observed for CD14 CD14 could not be explained by TLR2 signaling. Conclusion: Inhibition of CD14 CD14 is more efficient than inhibition of MD-2 MD-2 on whole E. coli E. coli -induced cytokine response, suggesting CD14 CD14 to be a better target for intervention in Gram-negative sepsis, in particular when combined with complement inhibition.
