Secreted phospholipase PLA2G5 acts as a hemolytic factor in sepsis

Abstract

Sepsis is a systemic response to infection with life-threatening consequences such as hemolysis, a predictor of mortality risks for the disease. Here, by measuring organism-wide changes in gene expression, we discovered that the secreted phospholipase PLA2G5 is induced in colon cell types during sepsis. The genetic deletion of Pla2g5 and treatment with a PLA2G5 antibody were both associated with protection from lethal sepsis. Treatment with a PLA2G5 antibody during sepsis was associated with increased splenic red pulp macrophages and improved iron homeostasis, linking PLA2G5 to red blood cell homeostasis during sepsis. Mechanistically, bloodborne PLA2G5 led to intravascular hemolysis through its lipolytic activity on red blood cell membranes. In humans with sepsis due to bacterial, fungal, or viral infections, the serum level of PLA2G5 was elevated and predictive of disease severity and mortality. We conclude that sepsis corrupts PLA2G5 into becoming an intravascular hemolytic factor which is toxic for host red blood cells.

Problems with a PDF?

This file is in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. If you have not installed and configured the Adobe Acrobat Reader on your system.

Having trouble reading a PDF?

PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.

Having trouble saving a PDF?

Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users: Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...". Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.

Having trouble printing a PDF?

  1. Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
  2. Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
  3. Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
