THE EFFECTS OF DNASE I AND LOW-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT HEPARIN IN A MURINE MODEL OF POLYMICROBIAL ABDOMINAL SEPSIS

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Cell-free DNA (CFDNA) has emerged as a prognostic biomarker in patients with sepsis. Circulating CFDNA is hypothesized to be associated with histones in the form of nucleosomes. In vitro, DNA activates coagulation and inhibits fibrinolysis, whereas histones activate platelets and are cytotoxic to endothelial cells. Previous studies have targeted CFDNA or histones in animal models of sepsis using DNase I or heparins, …
