Sepsis is a leading cause of death in hospitalized patients. The underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of sepsis have not been fully elucidated thus far. The receptor of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), in combination with the Toll-like receptors (TLRs), seem to contribute considerably in systematic responses during sepsis. Investigating the relationship between them and identifying potential target pathways is important in the future management of sepsis, especially in relation to acute lung injury. This study investigated the interactions between TLR-5, -6, and -9 and PD-1/PD-L1 expression in a septic mouse model. Sixty C57BL/6J mice were included and categorized in six study groups. Three sepsis (S) groups (24 h, 48 h, and 72 h) and three sham (Sh) groups (24 h, 48 h, and 72 h) were created. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was utilized to simulate sepsis in the S groups. Hematological analysis and lung tissue histopathological analysis were performed after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. Significant decreases in S groups compared to Sh groups in WBC and lymphocyte counts at 24, 48, and 72 h were observed. Significant increases in S groups compared to Sh groups in RBC and monocyte counts, IL-6 and IL-10 levels, alveolar flooding, and alveolar collapse were demonstrated by histopathological analysis. This study suggested a strong correlation between TLR expression and PD-1/PD-L1 up-regulation in lung tissue during sepsis. These molecules, also, seem to contribute to the histopathological changes in lung tissue during sepsis, leading to acute lung injury.
