Proteomics reveals disturbances in the immune response and energy metabolism of monocytes from patients with septic shock.

ABSTRACT: Sepsis results from a dyshomeostatic response to infection, which may lead to hyper or hypoimmune states. Monocytes are central regulators of the inflammatory response, but our understanding of their role in the genesis and resolution of sepsis is still limited. Here, we report a comprehensive exploration of monocyte molecular responses in a cohort of patients with septic shock via proteomic profiling. The acute stage of septic shock was associated with an impaired inflammatory phenotype, indicated by the down-regulation of MHC class II molecules and proinflammatory cytokine pathways. Simultaneously, there was an up-regulation of glycolysis enzymes and a decrease in proteins related to the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. On the other hand, the restoration of immunocompetence was the hallmark of recovering patients, in which an upregulation of interferon signaling pathways was a notable feature. Our results provide insights into the immunopathology of sepsis and propose that, pending future studies, immunometabolism pathway components could serve as therapeutic targets in septic patients.

Project description:Goal of the experiment: To identify correlated genes, pathways and groups of patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and septic shock that is indicative of biologically important processes active in these patients. Background: We measured gene expression levels and profiles of children with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and septic shock as a means for discovering patient sub-groups and gene signatures that are active in disease-affected individuals and potentially in patients with poor outcomes. Methods: Microarray and bioinformatics analyses of 123 microarray chips representing whole blood derived RNA from controls, children with SIRS, and children with septic shock. Results: A discovery-based filtering approach was undertaken to identify genes whose expression levels were altered in patients with SIRS or septic shock. Clustering of these genes identified 3 Major and several minor sub-groups of patients with SIRS or septic shock. The three groups differed with respect to incidence of septic shock and trended toward differences in mortality. Statistical analyses demonstrated that 6,435 gene probes were differentially regulated between the three patient sub-groups (false discovery rate < 0.001%). Of these gene probes, 623 gene probes within 7 major gene ontologies accounted for the majority of group differentiation. Network analyses of these 623 gene probes demonstrated 5 major gene networks that were differentially expressed between the 3 groups. Statistical comparison of septic shock survivors and non-survivors identified one major gene network that was under expressed in a high fraction of the non-survivors and identified potential biomarkers for poor outcome. Conclusions: This is the first genome-level demonstration of pediatric patient sub-groups with SIRS and septic shock. The sub-groups differ clinically and differentially express 5 major gene networks. We have identified gene signatures and potential biomarkers associated with poor outcome in children with septic shock. These data represent a major advancement in our genome-level understanding of pediatric SIRS and septic shock. Keywords: Septic shock, SIRS, pediatrics, outcome, infection, inflammation

Project description:Background: Lactate, as an essential clinical evaluation index of septic shock, is crucial in the incidence and progression of septic shock. This study aims to investigate the differential expression, regulatory relationship, clinical diagnostic efficacy, and immune infiltration of lactate metabolism-related genes (LMGs) in septic shock. Methods: Two sepsis shock datasets (GSE26440 and GSE131761) were screened from the GEO database, and the common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the two datasets were screened out. LMGs were selected from the GeneCards database, and lactate metabolism-related DEGs (LMDEGs) were determined by integrating DEGs and LMGs. Protein-protein interaction networks, mRNA-miRNA, mRNA-RBP, and mRNA-TF interaction networks were constructed using STRING, miRDB, ENCORI, and CHIPBase databases, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed for each of the LMDEGs to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the expression changes in relation to septic shock. Finally, immune infiltration analysis was performed using ssGSEA and CIBERSORT. Results: This study identified 10 LMDEGs, including LDHB, STAT3, LDHA, GSR, FOXM1, PDP1, GCDH, GCKR, ABCC1, and CDKN3. Enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were significantly enriched in pathways such as pyruvate metabolism, hypoxia pathway, and immune-inflammatory pathways. PPI networks based on LMDEGs, as well as 148 pairs of mRNA-miRNA interactions, 243 pairs of mRNA-RBP interactions, and 119 pairs of mRNA-TF interactions were established. ROC curves of eight LMDEGs (LDHA, GSR, STAT3, CDKN3, FOXM1, GCKR, PDP1, and LDHB) with consistent expression patterns in two datasets had an area under the curve (AUC) ranging from 0.662 to 0.889. The results of ssGSEA and CIBERSORT both showed significant differences in the infiltration of various immune cells, including CD8 T cells, T regulatory cells, and natural killer cells, and LMDEGs such as STAT3, LDHB, LDHA, PDP1, GSR, FOXM1, and CDKN3 were significantly associated with various immune cells. Conclusion: The LMDEGs are significantly associated with the immune-inflammatory response in septic shock and have a certain diagnostic accuracy for septic shock.

Project description:BackgroundIn septic shock, vasopressors aim to improve tissue perfusion and prevent persistent organ dysfunction, a characteristic of chronic critical illness (CCI). Adjunctive vasopressin is often used to decrease catecholamine dosage, but the association of vasopressin response with subsequent patient outcomes is unclear. We hypothesized vasopressin response is associated with favorable clinical trajectory.MethodsWe included patients with septic shock receiving vasopressin as a catecholamine adjunct in this retrospective cohort study. We defined vasopressin response as a lowering of the catecholamine dose required to maintain mean arterial pressure ≥65 mm Hg, 6 h after vasopressin initiation. Clinical trajectories were adjudicated as early death (ED; death before day 14), CCI (ICU stay ≥14 days with persistent organ dysfunction), or rapid recovery (RR; not meeting ED or CCI criteria). Trajectories were placed on an ordinal scale with ED the worst outcome, CCI next, and RR the best outcome. The association of vasopressin response with clinical trajectory was assessed with multivariable ordinal logistic regression.ResultsIn total 938 patients were included; 426 (45.4%) were vasopressin responders. The most frequent trajectory was ED (49.8%), 29.7% developed CCI, and 20.5% had rapid recovery. In survivors to ICU day 14 (those without ED), 59.2% had CCI and 40.8% experienced RR. Compared with vasopressin non-responders, vasopressin responders less frequently experienced ED (42.5% vs. 55.9%) and more frequently experienced RR (24.6% vs. 17.0%; P < 0.01). After controlling for confounders, vasopressin response was independently associated with higher odds of developing a better clinical trajectory (OR 1.63; 95% CI 1.26-2.10). Medical patients most frequently developed ED and survivors more commonly developed CCI than RR; surgical patients developed the three trajectories with similar frequency (P < 0.01).ConclusionsVasopressin responsive status was associated with improved clinical trajectory in septic shock patients. Early vasopressin response is a potential novel prognostic marker for short-term clinical trajectory.
