Background. Apoptosis is one of the causes of immune depression in sepsis. Pyroptosis also occurs in sepsis. The toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) have been shown to play important roles in apoptosis and pyroptosis. However, it is still unknown whether TLR4 inhibition decreases apoptosis in sepsis. Methods. Stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with or without lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) were cultured with or without TLR4 inhibition using monoclonal antibodies from 20 patients with sepsis. Caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 activities were measured. The expression of B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) and Bcl2-associated X (Bax) was measured. The cell death of PBMCs was detected using a flow cytofluorimeter. Results. After TLR4 inhibition, Bcl2 to Bax ratio elevated both in LPS and HMGB1-stimulated PBMCs. The activities of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 did not change in LPS or HMGB1-stimulated PBMCs. The cell death of LPS and HMGB1-stimulated CD8 lymphocytes and monocytes increased after TLR4 inhibition. The cell death of CD4 lymphocytes was unchanged. Conclusion. The apoptosis did not decrease, while TLR4 was inhibited. After TLR4 inhibition, there was an unknown mechanism to keep cell death in stimulated PBMCs in patients with sepsis.

Active Caspase

Dysregulation of apoptosis plays an essential role either in leukemogenesis or treatment response. Caspase-3 is a cysteine protease that functions as the final common mediator of apoptosis. The expression of the active caspase-3 is presumed as a predictor of prognosis and is able to predict the chemotherapy sensitivity. The aim of this study is to identify and to know the profile of active caspase-3 in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL), to correlate its expression in marrow and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and to verify the extent of its use as a complete remission predictor after induction treatment. The study subjects consisted of patients who were diagnosed as AML and ALL with marrow and peripheral blood examination performed at the Department of Clinical Pathology Dharmais Cancer Hospital and CiptoMangunkusumo Hospital. Based on this study, it is revealed that the active caspase-3 expression in mononuclear marrow cells was higher in AML compared to ALL (p=0.033), active caspase-3 expression in marrow showed a strong correlation (r=0.764; p=0.001) to peripheral blood mononuclear cells in ALL and a medium correlation (r=0.594; p=0.042) in AML. The expression of the active caspase-3 in ALL patients was lower in complete remission patients compared to the non-complete remission patients. Regarding to this study it is recommended to measure the active caspase-3 along with molecules integrating in apoptosis signaling pathways such as cytochrome-c and in the formation of apoptosome.
