简要总结
: Sepsis, now defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection, is an important global health problem representing about a fifth of all global deaths. It can be associated, in some cases, with multiple organ failure and cytokine storm. The main objective of this study is to estimate and to compare the activation rate of the Nucleotide-binding domain Leucine Rich repeat containing Protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in platelets between five groups of patients suffering from bacterial and/or viral sepsis, with different severity levels according to Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score to precise the platelets' implication in this cytokine storm.
详细描述
Patients with bacterial or vial sepsis have been shown to exhibit very high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1, IL6, IFN, IP10 and MCP1) that may activate the T-helper-1 lymphocytic response (Th1). These cytokines can be produced by several cell types, including blood platelets. IL1 is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine whose expression is increased in various pro-inflammatory contexts, including dengue infection. It induces an increase in endothelial permeability and a pro-thrombotic state, as described in patients infected with COVID-19. It is synthesized as a protein precursor that is cleaved by the NLRP3 (Nucleotide-binding domain Leucine repeat Rich containing Protein 3). Close associations between the deregulation of inflammasome activity and hereditary or acquired diseases suggest an important role of NLRP3 inflammasome in regulating immune responses. The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome increases caspase 1 activity and induces the production of bioactive IL1 as well as other pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL18. The major role of NLRP3 platelet inflammasome in the "cytokine storm" has been highlighted in the case of Dengue virus infection. We hypothesize that blood platelets may play an important role in the inflammatory response observed during sepsis through the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, particularly during its exacerbation.
- Five groups of patients will be constituted: patients with leptospirosis, patients with bacterial infections including in-hospital-acquired-infections, patients with viral infection, patients non infected (control group), patients with viral infection SARS-COv2 +.
- Only one blood collection will be realized
