- W2781848516 abstract "Sepsis, a leading cause of death in intensive care units, is primarily caused due to an exaggerated immune response. The hyperactive inflammatory response mediated by immune cells against infectious organisms and their toxins results in host cell death and tissue damage, the hallmarks of septic shock. Therefore, molecules that modulate inflammatory responses are attractive therapeutic targets for sepsis. Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule, which is implicated in regulating diverse immune functions. Although, the protective roles of NO in infectious diseases are well documented, its importance in sepsis is controversial. In the present study, the effects of intra-peritoneal injection of mice with Salmonella Typhimurium, a Gram-negative intracellular pathogen, were studied which leads to a rapid upregulation of serum cytokines and infiltration of neutrophils to the peritoneal cavity. Surprisingly, the induction of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, e.g. IL6 and CCL2, and the infiltration of neutrophils into the peritoneal cavity are mitigated in mice lacking Nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2). The reduced inflammatory response in Nos2-/- mice is accompanied by greater bacterial burden in the peritoneal cavity, lower thymic atrophy, higher liver damage and cardiovascular dysfunction followed by decreased survival. However, no significant differences are observed in other responses between C57BL/6 wild type (WT) and Nos2-/- mice: induction of glucocorticoids, phagocytic ability and apoptosis of peritoneal cells. This study clearly highlights the NOS2-dependent and -independent responses in this mouse model of peritonitis induced sepsis. Importantly, pre-treatment of Nos2-/- mice with DETA-NO, a NO donor, upon infection, restores neutrophil recruitment, reduces bacterial numbers in the peritoneal cavity, improves liver and cardio-vascular function and enhances survival. Interestingly, DETA-NO treatment does not significantly increase the survival of infected WT mice. The implications of these results and the complex roles of NO as a target molecule during sepsis are discussed." @default.
