Perspectives on the Immune System in Sepsis

Abstract

Beyond the modifications shown by the biochemistry labs, profound and ample modifications are seen in septic patients at a molecular level stemming from DNA translation and gene expression, manifested as unique profiles of mRNA (messenger), as well as non-coding, functional RNAs: miRNA (micro) and lncRNAs (long non-coding). Counteracting these modifications requires treatment with pleiotropic molecules and/or combination of molecules and opens the possibility of future treatments with arrays of siRNAs and/or specific panels of small molecules tailored for each patient subpopulation.
