Spontaneous Neutrophil Migration Patterns during Sepsis after Major Burns
Finely tuned to respond quickly to infections, neutrophils have amazing abilities to migrate fast and efficiently towards sites of infection and inflammation. Although neutrophils ability to migrate is perturbed in patients after major burns, no correlations have yet been demonstrated between altered migration and higher rate of infections and sepsis in these patients when compared to healthy i...
متن کاملAltered neutrophil trafficking during sepsis.
In sepsis, dysregulation of the inflammatory system is well known, as reflected in excessive inflammatory mediator production, complement activation, and appearance of defects in phagocytic cells. In the current study sepsis was induced in rats by cecal ligation/puncture. Early in sepsis the beta(1) and beta(2) integrin content on blood neutrophils increased in a nontranscriptional manner, and ...
متن کاملMajor reduction in plasma Lp(a) levels during sepsis and burns.
Plasma levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], an atherogenic particle, vary widely between individuals and are highly genetically determined. Whether Lp(a) is a positive acute-phase reactant is debated. The present study was designed to evaluate the impact of major inflammatory responses on plasma Lp(a) levels. Plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), low density lipoprotein cholesterol, Lp(a), an...
متن کاملMicrotubule asymmetry during neutrophil polarization and migration.
The development of cell polarity in response to chemoattractant stimulation in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) is characterized by the rapid conversion from round to polarized morphology with a leading lamellipod at the front and a uropod at the rear. During PMN polarization, the microtubule (MT) array undergoes a dramatic reorientation toward the uropod that is maintained during mot...
متن کاملNeutrophil dysregulation during sepsis: an overview and update
Sepsis remains a leading cause of death worldwide, despite advances in critical care, and understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment strategies. No specific therapy or drugs are available for sepsis. Neutrophils play a critical role in controlling infection under normal conditions, and it is suggested that their migration and antimicrobial activity are impaired during sepsis which contr...
