So far the analyses were mainly performed without taking into account monocytes subpopulations. Methods We studied this modification on CD14HIGH and CD14LOW monocytes of 20 SIRS patients undergoing abdominal aortic surgery AAS 20 patients undergoing carotid artery surgery CAS and 9 healthy controls and we investigated mediators and intracellular molecules that may be involved in this process. Results HLA-DR on CD14HIGH monocytes started to decrease during surgery after blood reperfusion and was further reduced post-surgery. In contrast HLA-DR expression on CD14LOW cells only decreased after surgery and to a lesser extent than on CD14HIGH monocytes. Negative correlations were found between the reduction of HLA-DR expression and the change in cortisol levels for both subpopulations whereas a negative correlation between interleukin-10 IL-10 levels and HLA-DR modulation was only observed for CD14HIGH cells. In accordance with these ex vivo results HLA-DR on CD14HIGH and CD14LOW monocytes of healthy donors was reduced following incubation with hydrocortisone whereas IL-10 only acted on CD14HIGH subpopulation. Furthermore flow cytometry revealed that the expression of IL-10 receptor was higher on CD14HIGH versus CD14LOW monocytes. In addition hydrocortisone and to a lesser extent IL-10 reversed the up-regulation of HLA-DR induced by bacterial products. Finally membrane-associated RING-CH-1 protein MARCH1 mRNA a negative regulator of MHC class II was up-regulated in
