Résumé

La réponse immunitaire innée, première barrière de l’organisme contre l’infection, repose sur la reconnaissance des antigènes microbiens par des récepteurs spécifiques associés au corécepteur membranaire CD14. Après reconnaissance du pathogène et activation des voies de signalisation intracellulaire des mécanismes de défense, le CD14 est libéré dans la circulation sous la forme d’un produit de clivage stable (sous-type du CD14 soluble ou sCD14-ST) qui peut être détecté par des méthodes biochimiques automatisées. Les caractéristiques de cette protéine appelée présepsine en font un marqueur émergent de l’infection, pour lequel des données apparaissent dans la littérature scientifique. L’objet de cet article est de décrypter le rationnel d’utilisation de la présepsine et de décrire les éléments scientifiques supportant son actuel développement.

Abstract

Innate immunity is the first barrier to fight off bacteria. It partly relies on engagement of the membrane coreceptor CD14. A product of cleavage of CD14, named soluble subtype of CD14 (sCD14-ST) or presepsin, is released in the circulation after activation of defense mechanisms. Presepsin can be detected by biochemical methods and therefore appears as an emergent biomarker of infection. An increasing number of studies are currently published that helps understanding the strength and weakness of this biomarker in the field of emergency medicine and sepsis. Reports evaluate the characteristics of presepsin in evaluation of diagnosis and, in a lesser extent, in prognosis of patients with suspected infection. Here we present the rational for presepsin development and recent data supporting its utility at bedside.
