Comprehensive Landscape of SA-AKI Revealed by Integrated Proteomics and Metabolomics Analysis

ABSTRACT: Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a severe and life-threatening condi-tion with high morbidity and mortality among emergency patients, and it poses a sig-nificant risk of chronic renal failure. Clinical treatments for SA-AKI remain reactive and non-specific, lacking effective diagnostic biomarkers or treatment targets. In this study, we established an SA-AKI mouse model using LPS and performed proteomics and metabolomics analyses. A variety of bioinformatic analyses, including Gene Set En-richment Analysis (GSEA), Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), protein and protein interactions (PPI), and MetaboAnalyst analysis, were conducted to investigate the key molecules of SA-AKI. Proteomics and metabolomics analyses re-vealed that sepsis led to impaired renal mitochondrial function and metabolic disorders. Immune-related pathways were found to be activated in kidneys upon septic infection. The catabolic products of polyamines accumulated in septic kidneys. Overall, our study provides a more comprehensive understanding of SA-AKI and identifies potential pathways for this condition.
