Shear Stress Associated with Cardiopulmonary Bypass Induces Expression of Inflammatory Cytokines and Necroptosis In Monocytes
Our study identifies a shear-stress modulated molecular mechanism that drives systemic inflammation in pediatric CPB patients. These are also the first data to demonstrate that shear-stress causes necroptosis. Finally, we observe that calcium and TNFα signaling are novel targets to ameliorate post-CPB inflammation.
