sepsis blood, monocyte, macrophage, liver, heart, lungs macrophage, lymphocyte, neutrophil, EC, hepatocyte, lung, spleen, kidney ALT, LDH, TNFα, IL-6, HMGB1, Th1 cell, CD69+ and CD25+ T cell, ICAM-1+ neutrophil, NETs, iNOS, RM neutrophil, NE, JAM-C, histology, apoptosis, E-selectin, ICAM-1, creatinine, BUN, NGAL, KIM-1 CIRP−/− mice, anti-CIRP Ab and C23 reduce inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, activated immune cells, NETs, and iNOS and improve survival. TLR4−/− mice attenuate eCIRP-induced lymphocyte activation 11, 13, 14, 15, 22
hemorrhage blood, macrophage, liver, heart blood, macrophage, EC, liver, lung ALT, AST, LDH, TNFα, IL-6, IL-1β, HMGB1, MPO, histology, EC barrier, ICAM-1 CIRP−/− mice, anti-CIRP Ab and C23 reduce inflammatory markers, MPO, histology,
ICAM-1, EC barrier and improve survival

fracture trauma and hemorrhage (two hits) blood macrophage, lung mtDNA fragmentation, apoptosis, ROS, autophagy, necroptosis TLR4−/− and MyD88−/− mice protect against CIRP-induced mtDNA fragmentation 18
intestinal I/R blood blood, small intestine, lung AST, LDH, TNFα, IL-6, histology, apoptosis, casp-3, MIP-2, MPO, Ly6G+ PMN CIRP−/− mice, C23 attenuate IL-6, LDH, histology, apoptosis, casp-3, and MPO 24, 65
