Abstract:
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the major antigen-presenting cells that play critical roles in regulating both innate and acquire immune responses. In the state of sepsis, the number of DCs is obviously decreased with inhibited antigen presenting ability as well as abnormal cytokine secretion, thereby resulting in an impairment of T lymphocyte activation. Previous studies have demonstrated that the depletion and dysfunction of DCs appear to be the main causes associated with the development of sepsis-induced immunosuppression. Based on the characteristic changes of DCs in sepsis and analysis of recent research progress, the authors propose a novel strategy of immunomodulation targeting the apoptosis, differentiation, and dysfunction of DCs, in order to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of severe burns and trauma complicated with sepsis.
