| Abstract | Sepsis refers to severe systemic inflammation in response to invading pathogens. To understand the molecular events that initiate the systemic inflammatory response, various inflammatory mediators were analyzed in neonatal sepsis samples and compared with normal samples.We initially measured the levels of the various classical inflammatory mediators such as acute phase proteins [C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT)], granule-associated mediators (NE, MPO and NO), proinflammatory cytokines [tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα), IL-1β and IL-6), antiinflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and IL-13) and chemokines [IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP-1)] and novel cytokines (IL-12/IL-23p40, IL-21 and IL-23) using ELISA. We also used the human inflammation antibody array membrane to profile the inflammatory proteins that are involved in neonatal sepsis.There were significantly higher levels of CRP (5.4 ± 0.70 mg/L), PCT (1.500 ± 0.2400 μg/L); NE (499.2 ± 22.01 μg/L), NO (54.22 ± 3.131 μM/L); TNFα (396.6 ± 37.40 pg/mL), IL-1β (445.3 ± 34.25 pg/mL), IL-6 (320.9 ± 43.38 pg/mL); IL-8 (429.5 ± 64.08 pg/mL) MCP-1 (626.25 ± 88.91 pg/mL), IL-10 (81.80 ± 9.45 pg/mL), IL-12/IL-23p40 (30.25 ± 0.6 pg/mL), IL-21 (8,263.3 ± 526.8 pg/mL) and IL-23 (6,083 ± 781.3 pg/mL) in neonates with sepsis compared to normal. The levels of MPO (21.20 ± 3.099 ng/mL) were downregulated, whereas there was no change in IL-13 (188.7 ± 10.63 pg/mL) levels in septic neonates when compared with normal. Using the human inflammation antibody array membrane, we detected the presence of 17 inflammatory proteins such as IL-3, IL6R, IL12p40, IL-16, TNFα, TNFβ, TNF R1, chemokines I-309, IP-10 (IFN-γ inducible protein 10), MCP-1, MCP-2, MIP 1β (macrophage inflammatory protein), MIP-1δ, eotaxin-2, growth factors TGFβ1 (transforming growth factor beta), PDGF (platelet derived growth factor), and cell adhesion molecule ICAM-1 (intracellular adhesion molecule) that were upregulated whereas RANTES which was downregulated in neonatal sepsis.The simultaneous secretion and release of multiple mediators such as proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, cell adhesion molecules, and growth factors were found to be involved in the initiation of systemic inflammation in neonatal sepsis. Therefore, measuring the concentration of multiple mediators may help in the early detection of neonatal sepsis and help to avoid unnecessary antibiotic treatment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
