Abstract
Background Neutrophil depletion improves neurologic outcomes in experimental sepsis/brain injury. We hypothesized that neutrophils may exacerbate neuronal injury through the release of neurotoxic quantities of the neurotransmitter glutamate. Methods Real-time glutamate release by primary human neutrophils was determined using enzymatic biosensors. Bacterial and direct protein-kinase C (Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate; PMA) activation of neutrophils in human whole blood, isolated neutrophils or human cell lines were compared in the presence/absence of N-Methyl-d-aspartic acid receptor (NMDAR) antagonists. Bacterial and direct activation of neutrophils from wild-type and transgenic murine neutrophils deficient in NMDAR-scaffolding proteins were compared using flow cytometry (phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation) and real-time respirometry (oxygen consumption). Findings Both glutamate and the NMDAR co-agonist d-serine are rapidly released by neutrophils in response to bacterial and PMA-induced activation. Pharmacological NMDAR blockade reduced both the autocrine release of glutamate, d-serine and the respiratory burst by activated primary human neutrophils. A highly specific small-molecule inhibitor ZL006 that limits NMDAR-mediated neuronal injury also reduced ROS by activated neutrophils in a murine model of peritonitis, via uncoupling of the NMDAR GluN2B subunit from its' scaffolding protein, postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95). Genetic ablation of PSD-95 reduced ROS production by activated murine neutrophils. Pharmacological blockade of the NMDAR GluN2B subunit reduced primary human neutrophil activation induced by Pseudomonas fluorescens, a glutamate-secreting Gram-negative bacillus closely related to pathogens that cause hospital-acquired infections. Interpretation These data suggest that release of glutamate by activated neutrophils augments ROS production in an autocrine manner via actions on NMDAR expressed by these cells.

Pharmacologic NMDAR blockade reduces rapid autocrine release of glutamate/d-serine from activated neutrophils. Genetic ablation/small-molecule inhibition of PSD-95 reduces neutrophil ROS. NMDAR blockade reduces human neutrophil activated by glutamate-secreting bacteria. Activated neutrophils may exacerbate neuronal injury in various forms of critical illness through the release of glutamate.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Monocytes (MOs) have the unique ability to differentiate into immature dendritic cells (iDCs) (MO→iDC) under the influence of interleukin-4 and granulocyte–monocyte colony-stimulating factor (IL-4&GM-CSF). In this study, the authors investigated the influence of ketamine on the process of MO→iDC.
Methods:
iDCs were cultured from MO obtained from 36 subjects in the presence of IL-4 and GM-CSF and ketamine at 100, 10, and 1 μg/ml for 5 days. In some of the experiments, the authors used nonspecific N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist MK-801, NMDA, or a neutralizing antibody for transforming growth factor β (TGFβ). The expression of surface markers and functional assays were used to assess the effect of ketamine on IL-4&GM-CSF-stimulated MO. IL-4&GM-CSF-stimulated MO’s supernatants were assessed for cytokine levels.
Results:
Ketamine at 10 μg/ml, and higher concentrations, diminished the expression of CD1a on IL-4&GM-CSF-stimulated MO and retarded both their ability to process DQ ovalbumin and mixed lymphocyte reaction stimulation. The addition of ketamine to IL-4&GM-CSF-differentiated MO resulted in the persistent expression of CD14 and unchanged expression of CD86 and CD206. The phagocytic abilities of IL-4&GM-CSF-differentiated MO were not changed by ketamine. MK-801, a nonselective NMDA agonist, mimicked ketamine’s effect on MO→iDC differentiation. Adding exogenous NMDA to IL-4&GM-CSF-stimulated MO in the presence of ketamine partially restored the level of CD1a+. TGFβ was elevated in supernatants of IL-4&GM-CSF-stimulated MO in the presence of ketamine. Adding neutralizing TGFβ antibody or TGFβR1 blocker (SB431542) resulted in the full recovery of MO→iDC, despite the presence of ketamine.
Conclusions:
Ketamine diminishes the process of MO→iDC in vitro. This is mediated via NMDA-dependent mechanisms and TGFβ.

Abstract
AIM In view of the central role of granulocytic neutrophils in the context of inflammatory reactions, the present study focuses on anti-inflammatory effects of drugs on activated neutrophils in neonates and adults. METHODS Sixteen blood samples of neonates and adults were investigated in a prospective study. Loss of deformability, morphological changes, and increases in neutrophil elastase were determined as measures of neutrophil activation due to incubation with the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-8. For inhibition experiments, the blood samples were also incubated with the phosphodiesterase inhibitors milrinone and piclamilast, the protease inhibitor urinastatin, ketamine, protein C concentrate, and the nitric oxide donor FK 409. Changes in deformability were investigated with a cell transit analyzer, morphological changes by microscopic observation, and the extent of neutrophil elastase release with an enzyme immunoassay. RESULTS The drugs milrinone, piclamilast, urinastatin, ketamine, protein C concentrate and FK 409 showed deactivating effects on activated neutrophils in recommended clinical doses. They improved deformability as well as reduced pseudopod formation and the release of neutrophil elastase. The effects on neutrophils did not differ between neonates and adults despite their functional differences. CONCLUSION We conclude that these drugs may reduce the inflammatory response and improve microcirculation in neonates and adults during inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Even with the introduction of specific risk-reduction strategies, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) continues to be a leading cause of transfusion-related morbidity and mortality. Existing small animal models have not yet investigated TRALI resulting from the infusion of heat-treated supernatant from whole blood platelet concentrates. In this study, our objective was the development of a novel in vivo two-event model of TRALI in sheep. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 15 μg/kg) as a first event, modelled clinical infection. Transfusion (estimated at 10% of total blood volume) of heat-treated pooled supernatant from date-of-expire human whole blood platelet concentrates (d5-PLT-S/N) was used as a second event. TRALI was defined by both hypoxaemia that developed either during the transfusion or within two hours of its completion and post-mortem histological evidence of pulmonary oedema. RESULTS LPS infusion did not cause lung injury itself, but did result in decreased circulating levels of lymphocytes and neutrophils with evidence of the latter becoming sequestered in the lungs. Sheep that received LPS (first event) followed by d5-PLT-S/N (second event) displayed decreased pulmonary compliance, decreased end tidal CO(2) and increased arterial partial pressure of CO(2) relative to control sheep, and 80% of these sheep developed TRALI. CONCLUSIONS This novel ovine two-event TRALI model presents a new tool for the investigation of TRALI pathogenesis. It represents the first description of an in vivo large animal model of TRALI and the first description of TRALI caused by transfusion with heat-treated pooled supernatant from human whole blood platelet concentrates.
