Abstract in Portuguese
Um estudo prévio demonstrou em pacientes com choque séptico a presença de exossomos plasmáticos. Nossa hipótese é que exossomos circulantes poderiam contribuir para a disfunção contrátil da sepse. Foi colhido sangue de 55 pacientes com choque séptico. A incubação de corações isolados com exossomos de pacientes sépticos reduziu significantemente as derivadas da pressão ventricular e aumentou as concentrações de nitrato no miocárdio. A exposição de músculos papilares a exossomos reduziu a tensão desenvolvida. Concluímos que exossomos de pacientes sépticos induzem disfunção inotrópica em corações isolados e músculos papilares, possivelmente contribuindo para a disfunção miocárdica da sepse.

Abstract in English
A previous report identified in plasma of septic shock patients the presence of exosomes. We hypothesized that circulating exosomes in sepsis could contribute to inotropic dysfunction. We collected blood samples from 55 patients with septic shock. Incubation of isolated heart preparations with exosomes induced a significant decrease in the derivatives of ventricular pressure and increased myocardial nitrate content. Exposure of isolated rat papillary muscles to exosomes reduced developed tension. We conclude that exosomes from septic patients induce myocardial dysfunction in isolated heart and papillary muscle preparations. Thus, they may contribute to myocardial dysfunction of sepsis.
