Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Characterization of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells before and after endotoxemia determined by: 1) Hematopoietic lineage differentiation (composition and cellularity) of the bone marrow compartment by FACS 2) Functional capacity by means of ex vivo cytokine release (including but not limited to IL-1β, TNF-a, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ) upon stimulation with PAMPs (e.g. LPS) and pathogens (e.g. S. aureus, C. albicans, M. tuberculosis, S. pneumonia) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • Ex vivo cytokine release of alveolar macrophages upon stimulation • Transcriptome of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, blood leukocytes, and alveolar macrophages • Epigenome of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, blood leukocytes, and alveolar macrophages • Cellular metabolism of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, blood leukocytes, and alveolar macrophages • Gene polymorphisms relating to innate immune function (e.g. autophagy ATG2b and ATG5 SNPs) • Life span and transit times of different subsets of leukocytes and their progenitors in human bone marrow (mitotic and post-mitotic pool) and the blood compartment • Circulating cytokine concentrations upon endotoxemia • Vital parameters during endotoxemia (mean arterial pressure, heart rate and temperature) • Illness score during endotoxemia | — |
