The purpose of this study was to identify critical genes associated with septic multiple trauma by comparing peripheral whole blood samples from multiple trauma patients with and without sepsis. A microarray data set was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. This data set included 70 samples, 36 from multiple trauma patients with sepsis and 34 from multiple trauma patients without sepsis (as a control set). The data were preprocessed, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were then screened for using packages of the R language.

Roles of GILZ in protein metabolism of L6 muscle cells exposed to serum from septic rats

J. Xiong, Xu, L., Qu, W. M., Li, Z. L., Shang, Z. H., Li, Y. H., Yang, S. H., and Yang, Z. H., Roles of GILZ in protein metabolism of L6 muscle cells exposed to serum from septic rats, vol. 13, pp. 8209-8219, 2014.

Sepsis is a complex inflammatory response to infection, associating with dramatic metabolic disorders. Although the mechanisms of immune response during sepsis have been largely clarified, current studies rarely pay attention to the disordered protein metabolism in sepsis. In this study, L6 rat skeletal muscle cells treated with serum from septic rats were used as an in vitro model for sepsis-like condition in skeletal muscle.
