text: Hemolysis drives susceptibility to bacterial infections and predicts poor
outcome from sepsis. These detrimental effects are commonly considered to be a
consequence of heme-iron serving as a nutrient for bacteria. We employed a Gram-negative
sepsis model and found that elevated heme levels impaired the control of bacterial
proliferation independently of heme-iron acquisition by pathogens. Heme strongly
inhibited phagocytosis and the migration of human and mouse phagocytes by disrupting
actin cytoskeletal dynamics via activation of the GTP-binding Rho family protein
Cdc42 by the guanine nucleotide exchange factor DOCK8. A chemical screening approach
revealed that quinine effectively prevented heme effects on the cytoskeleton,
restored phagocytosis and improved survival in sepsis. These mechanistic insights
provide potential therapeutic targets for patients with sepsis or hemolytic disorders.
