Changes of expression of endogenous sugar receptors by polymorphonuclear leukocytes after prolonged anaesthesia and surgery

Abstract: Anaesthesia and surgery are known to depress granulocyte function in the early postoperative period, leading to deterioration of the immune defence against infection. Carbohydratelectin interactions may play an important role in the activities of phagocytic cells in that theyGeneral anaesthesia and surgery are known to influence immune cell function. The consequent impairment of defence mechanisms leads to a higher risk of postoperative infection. The clinical manifestation is dependent on several factors, i.e… Show more

“…In mammals, anaesthetic agents are known to depress phagocytic functions such as mobilisation, attachment, chemotactic motility, engulfment and intracellular killing [8]. A progressive decline in the expression of endogenous sugar receptors, such as mannose-specific receptors, on granulocytes during anaesthesia has been detected [8,25]. Considering that carbohydrate-lectin interactions play an important role in the activities of phagocytic cells, the above authors suggested that this depletion of lectin-like receptors could be the connection between anaesthesia and depression of the phagocytic function.…”

“…Furthermore, nitrous oxide depresses the expression of endogenous sugar receptors on polymorphonuclear leukocytes and impairs intracellular signaling in leukocytes, resulting in the interference of the leukocyte adhesion-activation cascade (44,45). These observations clearly indicate that nitrous oxide acts as an anti-inflammatory molecule.…”
