Tumor necrosis factor-α production in whole blood after cardiopulmonary bypass: Downregulation caused by circulating cytokine-inhibitory activities

Abstract: These results suggest that during cardiac operations cytokine-inhibitory serum activities are released or newly formed. These activities could not be explained by the actions of interleukins 4 and 10 or transforming growth factor beta(1). Although their exact nature remains undetermined, these substances may contribute to the diminished immune cell functions after cardiopulmonary bypass and thus need further characterization.

“…In accidental injury, the musculoskeletal system is most frequently involved, and post-traumatic infl ammatory reactions can better be understood by analysing the physiological responses to a standardised musculoskeletal injury. Ex vivo cytokine production of blood cultures represents an approach to evaluate the immune status [9,13] . No studies have investigated the cytokine synthesis in blood of patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery.…”

“…Release of pro-inflammatory mediators such as Regulation of cytokine synthesis in cardiac surgery: Role of extracorporeal circuit and humoral mediators in vivo and in vitro tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 [2,3] is counterbalanced by anti-inflammatory cytokines like IL-10 and transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-b) [4,5] or soluble receptors acting as antagonists [6]. This results in immune system deterioration and eventually to increased susceptibility to infections [7].…”

“…Downregulation of TNF-a-synthesis after CPB is at least in part induced by circulating cytokine-inhibitory activities. Anti-inflammatory cytokines are not responsible for the observed downregulation [5]. In addition to anesthesia and surgical trauma, the following factors might cause immunosuppression after CPB: ischemia and reperfusion, gastrointestinal endotoxin translocation, blood contact with foreign surfaces, shear stress in the extracorporeal circuit.…”

“…Anaesthesia and surgery cause immune system impairment expressed as excessive pro-inflammatory responses leading to exacerbated pain, poor wound healing, psychological stress coupled with complications such as sepsis or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [1][2][3][4] . Post-operative pain management remains a challenge even in advanced health systems like the USA, where 50-70% patients experience post-operative pain 5 .…”
