ABSTRACT
According to "Sepsis-3" consensus, sepsis is a life-threatening clinical syndrome caused by a dysregulated inflammatory host response to infection. A rapid identification of sepsis is mandatory, as the extent of the organ damage triggered by both the pathogen itself and the host's immune response could abruptly evolve to multiple organ failure and ultimately lead to the death of the patient. The most commonly used therapeutic strategy is to provide hemodynamic and global support to the patient and to rapidly initiate broad-spectrum empiric antibiotic therapy. To date, there is no gold standard diagnostic test that can ascertain the diagnosis of sepsis. Therefore, once sepsis is suspected, the presence of organ dysfunction can be assessed using the Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, although the diagnosis continues to depend primarily on clinical judgment. Clinicians can now rely on several serum biomarkers for the diagnosis of sepsis (e.g., procalcitonin), and promising new biomarkers have been evaluated, e.g., presepsin and adrenomedullin, although their clinical relevance in the hospital setting is still under discussion. Non-codingRNA, including long non-codingRNAs (lncRNAs), circularRNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), take part in a complex chain of events playing a pivotal role in several important regulatory processes in humans. In this narrative review we summarize and then analyze the function of circRNAs-miRNA-mRNA networks as putative novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for sepsis, focusing only on data collected in clinical settings in humans.
