Impaired neutrophil chemotaxis in sepsis associates with GRK expression and inhibition of actin assembly and tyrosine phosphorylation

TLDR
Data suggest that endogenous mediators produced during sepsis might continually activate circulating neutrophils, leading to GRK activation, which may induce neutrophil desensitization to chemoattractants.

Vitamin C and Immune Function

TL;DR: Prophylactic prevention of infection requires dietary vitamin C intakes that provide at least adequate, if not saturating plasma levels, and treatment of established infections requires significantly higher doses to compensate for the increased inflammatory response and metabolic demand.

Interleukin-33 attenuates sepsis by enhancing neutrophil influx to the site of infection

TL;DR: It is shown that interleukin-33 reduces mortality in mice with experimental sepsis from cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and reverses the TLR4-induced reduction of CXCR2 expression in neutrophils via the inhibition of expression of G protein–coupled receptor kinase-2 (GRK2), a serine-threonine protein kinase that induces internalization of chemokine receptors.

G protein-coupled receptor kinases: more than just kinases and not only for GPCRs.

TL;DR: As key regulators of GPCR-dependent and -independent signaling pathways, GRKs are emerging drug targets and promising molecular tools for therapy, and targeted modulation of expression and/or of activity of several GRK isoforms for therapeutic purposes was recently validated in cardiac disorders and Parkinson's disease.

G protein-coupled receptors stimulation and the control of cell migration.

TL;DR: The role of GPCR mediated signal transduction and their importance in the regulation of actin remodeling leading to cell migration are reviewed.

Definitions for Sepsis and Organ Failure and Guidelines for the Use of Innovative Therapies in Sepsis

TL;DR: An American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine Consensus Conference was held in Northbrook in August 1991 with the goal of agreeing on a set of definitions that could be applied to patients with sepsis and its sequelae as mentioned in this paper.

The immunopathogenesis of sepsis.

TL;DR: Because of the high mortality of sepsis in the face of standard treatment, many efforts have been made to improve understanding of the dysregulation of the host response in sepsi, and much has been learnt of the basic principles governing bacterial–host interactions.

Chemokines: multiple levels of leukocyte migration control☆ ☆

TL;DR: New insights into the role of chemokines in leukocytes attraction and relocation will be discussed, with emphasis on the distinct levels of leukocyte migration control that ultimately determine the performance of the immune defense system.
