Journal ArticleDOI
Apoptotic cell death in patients with sepsis, shock, and multiple organ dysfunction
Richard S. Hotchkiss,Paul E. Swanson,Bradley D. Freeman,Tinsley Kw,J. P. Cobb,Matuschak Gm,Timothy G. Buchman,Irene E. Karl +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that caspase-3-mediated apoptosis causes extensive lymphocyte apoptosis in sepsis and may contribute to the impaired immune response that characterizes the disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is shown that critical injury in humans induces a genomic storm with simultaneous changes in expression of innate and adaptive immunity genes that alter the status of these genes in the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sepsis-induced apoptosis causes progressive profound depletion of B and CD4+ T lymphocytes in humans.
Richard S. Hotchkiss,Tinsley Kw,Paul E. Swanson,Robert Schmieg,J. J. Hui,Katherine Chang,Dale F. Osborne,Bradley D. Freeman,J. P. Cobb,Timothy G. Buchman,Irene E. Karl +10 more
TL;DR: Although there was no overall effect on lymphocytes from critically ill nonseptic patients (considered as a group), certain individual patients did exhibit significant loss of B and CD4 T cells in sepsis, which is especially significant because it occurs during life-threatening infection, a state in which massive lymphocyte clonal expansion should exist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of lymphocyte cell death in sepsis improves survival in mice.
Richard S. Hotchkiss,Kevin W. Tinsley,Paul E. Swanson,Katherine Chang,J. P. Cobb,Timothy G. Buchman,S. J. Korsmeyer,Irene E. Karl +7 more
TL;DR: These two studies employing different methods of blocking lymphocyte apoptosis provide compelling evidence that immunodepression resulting from the loss of lymphocytes is a central pathogenic event in sepsis, and they challenge the current paradigm that regardssepsis as a disorder resulting from an uncontrolled inflammatory response.
Journal Article
Overexpression of Bcl-2 in Transgenic Mice Decreases Apoptosis and Improves Survival in Sepsis
Richard S. Hotchkiss,Paul E. Swanson,Knudson Cm,Katherine Chang,J. P. Cobb,Dale F. Osborne,Zollner Km,Timothy G. Buchman,S. J. Korsmeyer,Irene E. Karl +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that overexpression of Bcl-2 provides protection against cell death in sepsis, which may be beneficial by down-regulating the accompanying inflammation and detrimental by compromising host defense.
