INTRODUCTION: The T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (Tim-3) mediated immunosuppressive pathway has been shown to play an essential role in the development of sepsis. However, the influence of Tim-3 blockade during sepsis and the possible effects on T cells' function remains largely unknown. Our study investigates the role of Tim-3 in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis in mice.
METHODS: Sepsis was induced in C57BL/6 male mice via CLP. The expression of Tim-3 in CD8+ T cells after CLP challenge was measured. A dose of 50 μg anti-Tim-3 antibodies was injected intraperitoneally 30 min after surgery. Postoperative survival, bacterial clearance in the blood and peritoneal lavage fluid, cytokine secretion in the blood, and lung and liver histology were evaluated. In addition, the apoptosis of immune cells in the spleen and thymus was examined, respectively.
RESULTS: Tim-3 expression was elevated in the splenic CD8+ T cells of septic mice. At the early stage of CLP-induced sepsis, blocking Tim-3 with anti-Tim-3 antibodies reduced the severity of sepsis. The anti-Tim-3 antibodies alleviated the morphology of lung and liver injuries in septic mice. The anti-Tim-3 antibodies also reduced the severity of the inflammatory responses and lymphocyte apoptosis in septic mice.
CONCLUSIONS: Anti-Tim-3 antibodies might be a potential therapeutic strategy for sepsis.
