ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Sepsis is an organ malfunction disease that may become fatal and is commonly accompanied by severe complications such as multiorgan dysfunction. Patients who are already hospitalized have a high risk of death due to sepsis. Even though early diagnosis is very important, the technology and clinical approaches that are now available are inadequate. Hence, there is an immediate necessity to investigate biological markers that are sensitive, specific, and reliable for the prompt detection of sepsis to reduce mortality and improve patient prognosis. Mounting research data indicate that ferroptosis contributes to the occurrence, development, and prevention of sepsis. However, the specific regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis remains to be elucidated. This research evaluated the expression profiles of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) and the diagnostic significance of the ferroptosis-related classifiers in sepsis. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
We collected three peripheral blood data sets from septic patients, integrated the clinical examination data and mRNA expression profile of these patients, and identified 13 FRGs in sepsis through a co-expression network and differential analysis. Then, an optimal classifier tool for sepsis was constructed by integrating a variety of machine learning algorithms. Two key genes, ATG16L1 and SRC, were shown to be shared between the algorithms, and thus were identified as the FRG signature of classifier. The tool exhibited satisfactory diagnostic efficiency in the training data set (AUC = 0.711) and two external verification data sets (AUC = 0.961; AUC = 0.913). In the rat cecal ligation puncture sepsis model, in vivo experiments verified the involvement of ATG16L1 and SRC in the early sepsis process.CONCLUSION:
These findings confirm that FRGs may participate in the development of sepsis, the ferroptosis related classifiers can provide a basis for the development of new strategies for the early diagnosis of sepsis and the discovery of new potential therapeutic targets for life-threatening infections.Palavras-chave
