Increased CD4+ T Cell Co-Inhibitory Immune Receptor CEACAM1 in Neonatal Sepsis and Soluble-CEACAM1 in Meningococcal Sepsis: A Role in Sepsis-Associated Immune Suppression?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The co-inhibitory immune receptor carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell-adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) and its self-ligand CEACAM1 can suppress T cell function. Suppression of T cell function in sepsis is well documented. Late-onset neonatal sepsis in VLBW-infants was associated with an increased percentage CEACAM1 positive CD4(+) T-cells. Meningococcal septic shock in children was associated with increased serum soluble CEACAM1. In conclusion our data demonstrate increased surface expression of the co-inhibitory immune receptor CEACAM1 in late-onset neonatal sepsis in VLBW-infants, and increased circulating soluble CEACAM1 in children with meningococcal sepsis. Increased T-cell CEACAM1 expression and increased circulating soluble CEACAM1 may contribute to sepsis-associated immune suppression.

Perturbation of Lytic and Latent Gammaherpesvirus Infection in the Absence of the Inhibitory Receptor CEACAM1
Control of gammaherpesvirus infections requires a complex, well orchestrated immune response regulated by positive and negative co-signaling molecules. While the impact of co-stimulatory molecules has been addressed in various studies, the role of co-inhibitory receptors has not been tested. The ITIM-bearing CEACAM1 is an inhibitory receptor expressed by a variety of immune cells, including B, ...

Background: Early detection of neonatal sepsis and categorization of patients based on clinical severity is not yet effectively achieved. Some hematological parameters are used to formulate a hematological scoring system (HSS) and a modified hematological scoring system (MHSS) to diagnose neonatal sepsis. A promising biomarker: Presepsin, or Soluble Cluster of Differentiation 14 SubType (sCD14-...
متن کاملCEACAM1 dynamics during neisseria gonorrhoeae suppression of CD4+ T lymphocyte activation.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae colony opacity-associated (Opa) proteins bind to human carcinoembryonic antigen cellular adhesion molecules (CEACAM) found on host cells including T lymphocytes. Opa binding to CEACAM1 suppresses the activation of CD4(+) T cells in response to a variety of stimuli. In this study, we use primary human CD4(+) T cells isolated from peripheral blood to define the molecular eve...
متن کاملIn Vivo Adaptation and Persistence of Neisseria meningitidis within the Nasopharyngeal Mucosa
Neisseria meningitidis (Nme) asymptomatically colonizes the human nasopharynx, yet can initiate rapidly-progressing sepsis and meningitis in rare instances. Understanding the meningococcal lifestyle within the nasopharyngeal mucosa, a phase of infection that is prerequisite for disease, has been hampered by the lack of animal models. Herein, we compare mice expressing the four different human c...
