Schaer DJ, Schaer CA, Schoedon G, Imhof A, Kurrer MO. Hemophagocytic macrophages constitute a major compartment of heme oxygenase expression in sepsis. Objectives: Uncontrolled macrophage activation with hemophagocytosis is a distinctive feature of hemophagocytic syndromes (HPS). We examined whether lympho-histiocytic infiltration of the bone marrow and liver, as well as hemo-/erythrophagocytosis also occurs during sepsis and whether this process could account for the increased production of anti-inflammatory heme-oxygenase (HO-1) products observed during sepsis. Methods: Hemophagocytosis and expression of CD163, HO-1, ferritin as well as CD8 and granzyme-B were examined in post-mortem bone marrow samples from 28 patients with sepsis and from eight control patients. Results: Comparison of samples from non-septic patients with samples from patients with fatal sepsis revealed that the latter group displayed dense lympho-histiocytic bone marrow infiltration with CD163+/HO-1+/ferritin+ macrophages as well as with CD8+ and granzyme-B+ T-cells. Hemophagocytosis with prominent phagocytosis of erythroid cells was readily apparent in septic patients, implying that this process is a likely stimulus for the up-regulation of macrophage HO-1 expression. Conclusions: Lympho-histiocytic activation with hemophagocytosis is a shared pathophysiologic mechanism in HPS and sepsis. Furthermore, the association of hemophagocytosis with an increase in HO-1 expression may indicate a novel role for this apparently futile process as a negative regulator of inflammation.
