Mortality-associated Plasma Proteome Dynamics in a Prospective Multicenter Sepsis Cohort

ABSTRACT: Understanding the plasma proteome dynamics in sepsis patients is crucial for improving prognostic and therapeutic strategies, as sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality in intensive care units. In this study, 363 patients with newly diagnosed sepsis were enrolled and plasma was collected on the first and fourth day after diagnosis. Proteome analysis was performed using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The plasma proteome was analyzed via classical statistical analysis and machine learning to identify associations with 30-day survival. Out of 363 sepsis patients, 224 survived and 139 did not survive the 30-day period. Significant differences in the abundance of 87 proteins on day 1 and 95 proteins on day 4 were found between survivors and non-survivors. Additionally, between days 1 and 4, 63 proteins were differentially regulated between both groups. We found that protein regulations within the first days of sepsis were generally associated with a worse outcome. Statistical analysis revealed the underlying proteins to be foremost related to blood coagulation, immune response and complement activation. Complementarily, the machine learning classifier achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.75 for predicting 30-day survival. The feature importance analysis highlighted additional proteins and substantiated the findings of univariate statistics. This study describes the temporal alterations of the plasma proteome and the underlying protein networks that are associated with survival. These findings enhance the understanding of sepsis pathophysiology and the identified proteins might serve as starting points for further investigations and guide the development of targeted therapeutic strategies.

Project description:The wide array of molecules carried by plasma regulates critical immune functions and constitutes valuable biomarkers and therapeutic targets. In recent years the introduction of “systems approaches” has provided investigators with powerful means for assessing immune responses in patient samples on a global scale. However, while the use of genome-wide profiling technologies has become widespread, measuring the plasma proteome still presents considerable challenges. An alternative approach that consists in measuring transcriptome responses in reporter cells exposed in vitro to patient plasma has been successfully employed in a limited number of studies. Here we devised such a “Transcriptomic Reporter Assay” system to assess the immunogenicity of plasma from septic patients and evaluate its potential for biomarker discovery. Sepsis is a common, severe systemic infectious process for which physicians still lack efficient diagnostic or prognostic tools. Of the three different cell reporter systems tested, neutrophils were identified as the most capable “plasma sensor”. Compared to peripheral blood mononuclear cells and dendritic cell preparations neutrophils were best able to discriminate between plasma from septic and control subjects and responded by upregulating a robust immune transcriptional program. Additionally, the amplitude of the neutrophil transcriptomic response was shown to be associated with disease severity in two additional sets of patients. Overall, our results demonstrate both the suitability and potential clinical relevance of a neutrophil reporter assay for assessing immunopathogenic processes in a complex and severe condition such as sepsis. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from two healthy donors. Plasma samples were obtained from patients with culture-confirmed sepsis (n=12) and from uninfected controls (n=12). PBMCs were cultured for 6 h in medium alone, plasma from patients with sepsis, plasma from uninfected controls, and LPS using a final concentration of 20%. Transcriptional profiles were acquired using Illumina HumanHT12 V4 BeadChips.

Monocytes were isolated from two healthy donors. Monocytes were cultured with interleukin 4 (IL4) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to generate monocyte derived dendritic cells (MoDCs). Plasma samples were obtained from patients with culture-confirmed sepsis (n=12) and from uninfected controls (n=12). MoDCs were cultured for 6 h in medium alone, plasma from patients with sepsis, plasma from uninfected controls, and LPS using a final concentration of 20%.

Project description:To compare tumor associated macrophage (TAM) from naïve and sepsis surviving mice we have employed Agilent microarrays slides with almost 60,000 genes (39,430 mRNA and 16,251 long non coding RNAs). Other experiments we conducted demonstrated TAM accumulation was increased in post-sepsis subjects. For this reason, we asked if TAM from post-sepsis mice could also exhibit a different gene expression profile. Sepsis was induced by cecal and ligation puncture. Naïve mice were used as control group. All animals were treated with ertapenem (20 mg/kg, i.p., 6 hours after surgery, and then each 12 hours for 3 days). B16-F10 melanoma (30,000 cells) were injected subcutaneously at day 14 after sepsis induction. Fourteen days after tumor inoculation, animals were killed and tumors were harvested and digested (collagenase and DNAse). TAM was isolated by a Percoll gradient (70/30) followed by a 1-hour adhesion protocol, reaching a purity of ~75%. For comparative reasons, we assessed TAM from post-sepsis (n = 4), TAM from naïve mice (n = 4), bone marrow derived macrophage from naïve (n = 4) and from post-sepsis (n = 4), M1-polarized macrophage (n = 4) and M2-polarized macrophage (n = 4). We found only minor gene expression differences between TAM from naïve and from post-sepsis mice (61 genes were up-regulated and 98 genes were down-regulated, fold-change > 0.58 or < -0.58, and p < 0.01). We found genes related to leukocyte activation were down-regulated in TAM from post-sepsis mice (e.g. Ccr7, Cd86, H2-Ab1), as well as genes related to antigen processing and presentation of peptide or polysaccharide antigen via MHC class II (H2-DMb1, Cd74, H2-Eb1, H2-Ob). A gene related to M2 polarization was up-regulated (Marco). Also, we found a down-regulation of Nfkbid in post-sepsis-derived TAM. This led us to hypothesize TAM from post-sepsis mice exhibit a more M2-like phenotype, which may in part contribute to post-sepsis tumor expansion. Three independent experiments were conducted for TAM obtaining, each experiment using n = 4 for naïve and n = 4 for post-sepsis. We selected the 4 best within a group of 12 samples, following A260/280 and A260/230 ratios. For bone marrow derived macrophage from naïve and from post-sepsis, and for M1 and M2-polarized macrophage, we conducted two independent experiments using n = 3 per group. The best 4 samples in each group was selected to microarray processing and analysis.
