Experimental data indicate that sepsis influences the mitochondrial function and metabolism. We aim to investigate longitudinal bioenergetic, metabolic, hormonal, amino-acid, and innate immunity changes in children with sepsis.
Sixty-eight children (sepsis, 18; systemic inflammatory response syndrome [SIRS], 23; healthy controls, 27) were enrolled. Plasma amino acids were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC); flow-cytometry expressed as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of heat shock protein (HSP) levels from monocytes (m) and neutrophils (n); resistin, adiponectin, and extracellular (e) HSPs evaluated by ELISA; ATP levels in white blood cells by luciferase luminescent assay; lipid peroxidation products (TBARS) by colorimetric test; nitrite and nitrate levels by chemiluminescent assay; biliverdin reductase (BVR) activity by enzymatic assay; and energy-expenditure (EE) by E-COVX.
Resistin, eHSP72, eHSP90α, and nitrate were longitudinally higher in sepsis compared with SIRS (p<0.05); mHSP72, nHSP72, VO , VCO , EE, and metabolic pattern were repressed in sepsis compared with SIRS (p<0.05). Septic patients had lower ATP and TBARS compared with controls on day 1, lower ATP compared with SIRS on day 3 (p<0.05), but higher levels of BVR activity. Sepsis exhibited higher phenylalanine levels on day 1, serine on day 3; lower glutamine concentrations on days 3 and 5 (p<0.05). Resistin, inversely related to ATP, was independently associated with sepsis, along with mHSP72 and eHSP90α (p<0.05); TBARS and VO were independently associated with organ failure (p<0.05)). Septic nonsurvivors had malnutrition, persistently repressed metabolism, mHSP72, and induced resistin and adiponectin (p<0.05).
A pattern of early longitudinal induction of metabolic-hormones and eHSP72/HSP90α, repression of bioenergetics and innate immunity, hypo-metabolism, and amino-acid kinetics changes discriminate sepsis from SIRS; malnutrition, hypo-metabolism, and persistently increased resistin and adiponectin are associated with poor outcome.
实验数据表明脓毒症会影响线粒体功能和代谢。我们旨在研究脓毒症患儿的能量代谢、代谢、激素、氨基酸和固有免疫的纵向变化。
纳入 68 名儿童(脓毒症 18 例,全身炎症反应综合征[SIRS]23 例,健康对照 27 例)。采用高效液相色谱法(HPLC)测定血浆氨基酸水平;采用流式细胞术以单核细胞(m)和中性粒细胞(n)热休克蛋白(HSP)水平的平均荧光强度(MFI)表示;通过酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)评估抵抗素、脂联素和细胞外(e)HSP 水平;用荧光素酶发光法测定白细胞中的 ATP 水平;用比色法测定脂质过氧化产物(TBARS);用化学发光法测定亚硝酸盐和硝酸盐水平;用酶法测定胆红素还原酶(BVR)活性;用 E-COVX 测定能量消耗(EE)。
与 SIRS 相比,脓毒症患者的抵抗素、eHSP72、eHSP90α 和硝酸盐水平呈纵向升高(p<0.05);与 SIRS 相比,脓毒症患者的 mHSP72、nHSP72、VO、VCO、EE 和代谢模式受到抑制(p<0.05)。与对照组相比,脓毒症患者第 1 天的 ATP 和 TBARS 水平较低,第 3 天的 ATP 水平较低(与 SIRS 相比,p<0.05),但 BVR 活性较高。脓毒症患者第 1 天的苯丙氨酸水平较高,第 3 天的丝氨酸水平较高;第 3 天和第 5 天的谷氨酰胺浓度较低(p<0.05)。抵抗素与 ATP 呈负相关,与 mHSP72 和 eHSP90α 一起与脓毒症独立相关(p<0.05);TBARS 和 VO 与器官衰竭独立相关(p<0.05))。脓毒症非幸存者存在营养不良、持续抑制代谢、mHSP72 和诱导抵抗素和脂联素(p<0.05)。
早期纵向诱导代谢激素和 eHSP72/HSP90α、抑制生物能和固有免疫、低代谢以及氨基酸动力学变化的模式可将脓毒症与 SIRS 区分开来;营养不良、低代谢和持续增加的抵抗素和脂联素与不良预后相关。
