Research overview

A logistic regression model, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to evaluate the efficiency of diagnostic and/or prognostic performance. These findings suggest that miRNAs and PMN-related membrane proteins from plasma-EVs could be valuable diagnostic tools for identifying sepsis-induced organ dysfunction and predicting prognosis, enabling proactive management of sepsis by physicians and improving the prognosis of sepsis patients.

Key findings

Fifty-five miRNAs from PMN-EVs differed significantly between the healthy controls and patients with septic shock.

Furthermore, the plasma-EV model (six miRNAs and eight PMN-related membrane proteins) was confirmed in the validation cohort, demonstrating that miR-34a-5p, miR-503-5p, miR-4772-3p, ITGAM, MPO, and MMP9 serve as sepsis biomarkers for distinguishing lung, liver, and kidney dysfunction.

Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that miR-34a-5p, miR-4772-3p, ITGAM, and MMP9 were potential prognostic predictors.

Finally, we found that plasma-EVs from sepsis patients exert an inhibitory effect on PMNs autophagy, which can be reversed by EV inhibitors such as GW4869 and enoxaparin.

Study design

PMN-derived EVs (PMN-EVs) were isolated from the blood samples of healthy controls (N=3) and patients with septic shock (N=3) after ICU admission.

We performed miRNA sequencing of the isolated EVs, followed by bioinformatic analysis.

A miRNA model for comparing PMN-EVs and plasma-EVs was successfully established in the training cohort.
