Early Response Roles for Prolactin Cortisol and Circulating and Cellular Levels of Heat Shock Proteins 72 and 90α in Severe Sepsis and SIRS

Abstract: Objective. To evaluate the early heat shock protein (HSP) and hormonal stress response of intensive care unit (ICU) patients with severe sepsis/septic shock (SS) or systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) compared to healthy subjects (H). Methods. Patients with early (first 48 hrs) SS (n = 29) or SIRS (n = 29) admitted to a university ICU and 16 H were enrolled in the study. Serum prolactin, cortisol, and plasma ACTH were determined using immunoassay analyzers. ELISA was used to evaluate extracellular H… Show more

“…It has been previously shown, however, that mHSP72 response is dependent on intracellular HSP72 amount and severity of in vitro stress in healthy male volunteers [ 22 ]. In vivo, serum cortisol, IL-6, IL-10, and extracellular HSP72 levels were higher and intracellular PBMCs' HSP72 lower in severe sepsis (SS) compared to H [ 24 ]. In addition, genetic variants of the HSP72 genes may also affect HSP72 induction, indirectly influencing inflammation, infection severity, and development of septic shock [ 25 ].…”

“…The high extracellular concentration of HSP70 was even greater in patients with MODS [224]. Although the authors did not include follow-up of survival after hospital discharge and all patients except one survived during admission, the greater elevation of extracellular HSP70 in patients with MODS corroborates the proinflammatory character of this protein in severe trauma as reported by others as well, who also correlated HSP70 with survival and morbidity [250,251]. In summary, these data support the hypothesis that HSP70 is produced as a danger signal to stimulate the immune systems of trauma patients [224,252].…”

“…During pulmonary inflammation, a transient production of HSPs occurs that is also responsible for modulating lung injury (24). HSP70 has been described as an important agent in the cytoprotection against inflammatory processes (25).…”
