Cytokine downregulation was studied focusing on caspase-1 activation and conversion of pro-interleukin-13 into interleukin-13 IL-13 . Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from a 92 patients with sepsis mainly of Gramnegative etiology b 34 healthy volunteers and c 5 healthy individuals enrolled in an experimental endotoxemia study. Cytokine stimulation was assessed in vitro after stimulation with a variety of microbial stimuli. Results Inhibition of IL-13 in sepsis was more profound than tumour necrosis factor TNF . Down-regulation of IL-13 response could not be entirely explained by the moderate inhibition of transcription. We investigated inflammasome activation and found that in patients with sepsis both pro-caspase-1 and activated caspase-1 were markedly decreased. Blocking caspase-1 inhibited the release of IL-13 in healthy volunteers an effect that was lost in septic patients. Finally urate crystals which specifically induce the NLPR3 inflammasome activation induced significant IL-13 production in healthy controls but not in patients with sepsis. These findings were complemented by inhibition of caspase-1 autocleavage as early as two hours after lipopolysaccharide exposure in volunteers. Conclusions These data demonstrate that the inhibition of caspase-1 and defective IL-1 3 production is an important immunological feature in sepsis.
