TRPM7 inhibition protects mice from increased neutrophil-endothelial interaction (NEI) during endotoxemia. A NEI in mice treated with LPS 3 mg/kg i.p. and or carvacrol 80 mg/kg i.p. (1 h post-endotoxemia) were inspected using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) to obtain confocal images of the fundus from the left eye. B-E Representative SLO images obtained from a real-time movie depicting NEI count at 3 h (B) and 12 h (C) post-endotoxemia. Representative SLO images obtained from a real-time movie depicting NEI count at 3 h (D) and 12 h (E) post-endotoxemia in mice subjected to injection of carvacrol 1 h after endotoxemia. F Serial quantification of SLO captures from endotoxic mice in the absence or presence carvacrol at 0,3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h post-endotoxemia. Grey: reflectance with 638 nm laser. Red: rat anti-Ly6G. Arrowheads: neutrophils labelled with an anti-Ly6G IgG. v: Venules. a: Arterioles. n: Optic nerve head. Scale bar = 100 μm. (N = 5 per group). Statistical differences were assessed by two-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's post hoc test. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001 comparing endotoxemic (red) vs endotoxemic/ carvacrol (green) conditions. Results showed as mean ± SEM

Background Sepsis is an uncontrolled inflammatory response against a systemic infection that results in elevated mortality, mainly induced by bacterial products known as endotoxins, producing endotoxemia. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is frequently observed in septic patients and is associated with organ failure and death. Sepsis act...

Because TRPM7 knockout in mice leads to early embryonic lethality [58], pharmacological modulation of TRM7 is the preferred approach. Confocal retinal reflectance imaging revealed the anatomical features that are characteristic of the retina: optic nerve head (n), arterioles (a), and venules (v) (Fig. 3B), which provide a ...
