Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)

Inflammatory response to illness of any source

1/3 of all hospitalized patients – More than half of all ICU patients– Nearly all SICU patients– Morbidity and mortality 2° organ

Immediate response to danger motifs

Rapid responses in trauma, sepsis

Innate immunity



Exogenous infective motifs (LPS, FPs, bacterial sugars, ‘CpG’ DNA, dsRNA, flagellin…)

Bind PRRs immune activationCytokines etc

Symptomatic infective SIRS (“sepsis”)↑ NO· release → vasodilatation↑ PMN-EC interactions → capillary leak

PAMPs

Non-infective motifs ? Endogenous products of tissue injury

? Intracellular motifs released by mechanical injury

? Membrane motifs changed by toxins? New motifs 2’ to metabolic, I/R stress

Bind PRRs immune activationCytokines etc

?? …symptomatic non-infective SIRS

?? DAMPs…



Putative DAMP PRRHMGB-1 TLR4S-100 RAGEHSP 30/60 TLR4B7-H3 TREM

Few knownSignal through PRR’s like PAMPs

Intracellular DAMPs

Mitochondria as DAMPs…why are clinical sepsis and SIRS so

often indistinguishable?Mitochondria were saprophytic

bacteriaBecame endo-symbiontsEvolved into organelles

?‘Septic’ response to MT?



13 ‘endogenous’ peptides begin with n-formyl-met

? Do they activate FP receptors‘Bacteria-like’ DNA

Unmethylated ‘CpG’ repeats? Do they activate TLR-9

Do mitochondria contain DAMPs?

Does mechanical tissue injury cause

circulation of mitochondrial debris ?

What is non-infectious SIRS?

2) Rx SIRS after source controlTarget PRR, signal cascadesSteroids, aPC, anti-cytokine Tx(All dangerous w/o source control)

Treatment of infective SIRS

1) Remove DAMPs (bio-markers)Debride / drain sourcesAvoid antibiotics

2) Prevent / treat SIRS earlyTarget DAMPs and PRRInterrupt inflammatory signalingSafe w/o infection (but ??healing)
