Area of Science:
- Immunology
- Critical Care Medicine
- Translational Research
Background:
- Sepsis is a major global cause of death, driven by immune dysfunction.
- Immunosuppression in sepsis leads to mortality and secondary infections.
- Immune checkpoint molecules are key regulators of sepsis-induced immune dysfunction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review literature on immune checkpoint pathways in sepsis.
- To analyze checkpoint roles, expression, and convergence with reprogramming.
- To evaluate myeloid checkpoints in innate immune dysfunction.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of inhibitory checkpoint pathways (PD-1/PD-L1, CTLA-4, TIM-3, LAG-3, TIGIT, BTLA).
- Analysis of cell-type-specific expression and context-dependent roles.
- Evaluation of myeloid checkpoints (CD47-SIRPα, MerTK).
Main Results:
- Checkpoint molecules have context-dependent protective and pathological roles.
- Monocyte HLA-DR and ferritin identified as biomarkers for patient phenotyping.
- The ImmunoSep trial demonstrated improved outcomes with phenotype-guided immunotherapy.
Conclusions:
- Precision medicine frameworks are essential for checkpoint-based immunotherapies.
- Biomarker-guided stratification is crucial for combination immunotherapies.
