MDSCs are induced after experimental blunt chest trauma and subsequently alter antigen-specific T cell responses.

ABSTRACT: Severe blunt chest trauma (TxT) induces a strong inflammatory response with posttraumatic immune suppression pointing to an impaired adaptive immune response. Since CD11b+Gr-1+-expressing myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are induced after inflammation and suppress T cell responses, MDSC induction and their impact on T cell functions was analysed in an experimental TxT model. MDSCs were induced preferentially in the lung until 24?hours after TxT. Although MDSC numbers were only faintly increased in the spleen, splenic MDSCs isolated after TxT strongly inhibited alloantigen-induced T cell proliferation in vitro. Suppressive activity correlated with increased expression of arginase-1 and iNOS. MDSCs also prevented antigen-induced T cell expansion in vivo, since staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB)-induced proliferation of v?8+ T cells was impaired in TxT mice in the presence of CD11b+Gr-1+ cells. Surprisingly, MDSCs were not involved in shifting T cells into Th2 cells, characterized by the secretion of cytokines impairing cell-mediated immunity and promoting immunosuppression. Instead, the presence of CD11b+Gr-1+ cells was required for efficient IL-2, IFN-? and TNF? production after antigenic stimulation, indicating, that elevation of MDSCs early after traumatic injuries might contribute to restrict the initial inflammatory response by alleviating T cell expansion, however, without impeding Th1 functions.

Project description:BackgroundIn patients with multiple trauma, a supine chest radiography [chest X-ray (CXR)] is preferred over a erect CXR. However, this method has limitations in detecting post-traumatic pneumothorax. The use of chest computed tomography (CT) to detect traumatic pneumothorax is well known. However, pneumothorax that is not detected before a chest CT scan is known as an occult pneumothorax (OP), and it can cause serious complications in the patient. This study sought to evaluate the frequency and risk factors for OP in trauma patients.MethodsPatients who suffered thoracic trauma at the Level 1 Regional Trauma Center of Wonju Severance Christian Hospital between 2015 and 2022 were included in this study. All patients were at least 18 years old. The study reviewed all patients' supine CXR and chest CT images and classified them into five radiographic diagnoses: pneumothorax, rib fracture, subcutaneous emphysema, lung contusion, and pneumomediastinum.ResultsThe study included 1,284 patients, all with diagnoses of pneumothorax, rib fracture, subcutaneous emphysema, lung contusion, and pneumomediastinum following supine CXR and chest CT. The patient's average age was 58.3±15.2 years. Pneumothorax diagnosis on supine CXR had the lowest accuracy, at 46.7%, and the lowest sensitivity, at 12.7%. In univariate analysis, rib fracture, lung contusion, and subcutaneous emphysema on supine CXR were all found to be statistically significant regarding traumatic OP. In multivariate analysis, the risk factors for OP were lung contusion [odds ratio (OR), 1.440; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.115-1.860; P=0.005] and subcutaneous emphysema (OR, 25.883; 95% CI: 13.155-50.928; P<0.001) on supine CXR.ConclusionsThe lung contusion and subcutaneous emphysema in supine CXR of trauma patients indicate the presence of OP. Therefore, if chest CT cannot be performed immediately due to unstable vital signs or other circumstances, recognizing the above radiological findings of traumatic pneumothorax may be necessary.
