The β1-Adrenergic Receptor Contributes to Sepsis-Induced Immunosuppression Through Modulation of Regulatory T-Cell Inhibitory Function*

Résumé

Objectives: Although cardiovascular benefits of β 1 -adrenergic receptor blockade have been described in sepsis, little is known about its impact on the adaptive immune response, specifically CD4 T cells. Herein, we study the effects of β 1 -adrenergic receptor modulation on CD4 T-cell function in a murine model of sepsis. Design: Experimental study. Setting: University laboratory. Subjects: C57BL/6 mice. Interventions: High-grade sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture in wild-type mice (β 1+/+ ) with or without esmolol (a selective β 1 -adrenergic receptor blocker) or in β 1 -adrenergic receptor knockout mice (β 1-/- ). At 18 hours after surgery, echocardiography was performed with blood and spleen collected to analyze lymphocyte function. Measurements and main results: At 18 hours, β 1+/+ cecal ligation and puncture mice exhibited characteristics of high-grade sepsis and three surrogate markers of immunosuppression, namely decreased splenic CD4 T cells, reduced CD4 T-cell proliferation, and increased regulatory T lymphocyte cell proportions. Pharmacologic and genetic β 1 -adrenergic receptor blockade reversed the impact of sepsis on CD4 T and regulatory T lymphocyte proportions and maintained CD4 T-cell proliferative capacity. β 1 -adrenergic receptor blocked cecal ligation and puncture mice also exhibited a global decrease in both pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators and improved in vivo cardiovascular efficiency with maintained cardiac power index despite the expected decrease in heart rate. Conclusions: β 1 -adrenergic receptor activation enhances regulatory T lymphocyte inhibitory function and thus contributes to sepsis-induced immunosuppression. This can be attenuated by β 1 -adrenergic receptor blockade, suggesting a potential immunoregulatory role for this therapy in the management of sepsis.
