Show abstract
Trained immunity defines long-lasting adaptive responses of innate immunity, mediated by transcriptional and epigenetic modifications of myeloid cells. Here, we report that labile heme, an alarmin released extracellularily upon tissue damage and hemolysis, induces trained immunity in human and murine primary cells and in mice. Heme-trainning in monocytes is associated with epigenetic and transcriptional profiles that overlap to some extent with those seen in {beta}-glucan-training, the prototype agonist of trained immunity. In sharp contrast to {beta}-glucan training however, heme-training relied on activation of the Syk/JNK-pathway. Heme training in mice was associated with long-lasting expansion of myeloid-biased progenitor cells as well as with altered chromatin accessibility in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Finally, heme-induced training was protective against bacterial sepsis in mice. In conclusion, we reveal that heme, a bona fide alarmin, induces innate immune memory regulating host response to infection.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
