Research progress of microRNA in mitochondrial dysfunction of children with sepsis / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Sepsis is the systemic inflammatory respond syndrome and autoimmunity injury caused by pathogenic microorganism or any other immunogenicity.Mitochondria,an important organelle,which has an essential role in cellular growth,metabolism,occurrence and development of disease by generating ATP following the oxidative phosphorylation from glycolysis.There had been some progresses on the research of sepsis in several decades.A number of studies had shown that the degree of mitochondrial dysfunction was related to the eventual outcome of sepsis.microRNA are endogenous small noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene and bio-protein expression,and then adjust mitochondrial oxidative stress,has important influence on the process of sepsis and prognosis.Here,a current review of how microRNA impinge on mitochondrial dysfunction in sepsis was performed.
