Brief Summary: Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to severe life-threatening infections, leading to organ failure and death in up to 40% of patients with septic shock. Pulmonary infections are the main cause of community-acquired sepsis and frequently lead to the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). Features of immunosuppression, including diminished cell surface monocyte human leukocyte antigen DR (mHLA-DR) expression, are strongly associated with hospital mortality. Such decrease in HLA-DR expression on antigen-presenting cells has been associated with impairment of microbial antigens to Tcells. Septic patients also show elevated expression of inhibitory receptors associated with cell exhaustion.. Yet, biochemical, flow cytometric and immunohistochemical findings consistent with immunosuppression have been observed in lungs and spleen of patients died of sepsis and multiple organ failure, demonstrating the relevance of studying these defects directly in organ tissues. A novel approach aimed to characterize the role and prognostic value of alveolar biomarkers measured directly in the injured lungs is warranted and supported by: -disappointing results of previous clinical trials attempting to restore the level of biomarkers measured on circulating cells; -evidences of regional immunosuppression in lungs of ARDS patients; -lung is the main site of hospital-acquired infections with a prevalence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in 30% over the course of Intensive Care Unit(ICU) stay in ARDS patients.

Investigators speculate that biomarkers measured on alveolar leukocytes (AL) surface, are important predictors of outcome and potential therapeutic targets in ICU patients with pneumonia-associated ARDS.

Investigators aim to explore whether biomarkers measured directly on AL from patients with pneumonia-associated ARDS are associated to regional pulmonary immunosuppression using leukocyte functional tests; and predictors of outcomes.

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) and blood samples will be collected in ARDS patients. Leukocyte populations and cell membrane biomarkers will be quantified using flow cytometry. Leukocyte functional tests will be performed ex vivo on leukocytes collected from BALF and blood samples. Pharmacological interventions will be performed ex vivo.

This project aims to identify biomarkers associated with outcomes and potential therapeutic targets.
