Hypertonicity rescues T cells from suppression by trauma-induced anti-inflammatory mediators.

Trauma causes the release of anti-inflammatory factors thought to cause infections by inhibiting T cells. We have found that hypertonic saline (HS) enhances functions of normal T cells. Here we studied if HS can rescue T cells from suppression by costimulating interleukin (IL)-2 production. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were treated with the immunosuppressive factors IL-4, IL-10, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta(1), and PGE(2) and with serum of trauma patients and stimulated with phytohemagglutinin, and IL-2 production was measured. Costimulation with HS tripled IL-2 production of normal cells. IL-4, IL-10, TGF-beta(1), and PGE(2) suppressed IL-2 production with IC(50) of 500, 1, 36,000, and 0.01 pg/ml, respectively. Costimulation of suppressed cells with HS restored IL-2 production and increased IC(50) values >70-fold. Serum from trauma patients could completely suppress normal cells; however, costimulation with HS restored IL-2 production by up to 80% of the control response. These findings show that HS can restore the function of suppressed T cells, suggesting that HS resuscitation of trauma patients could reduce posttraumatic sepsis.
