Summary

Sepsis is the most common cause of death in the clinical critically ill patients. We have successfully screened the sepsis biomarkers by clinical proteomics approach and found that Vimentin (VIM) played an important role in the occurrence and development of sepsis. However, the exact mechanism is remaining unclear. In this study, the relationship between the changes of peripheral circulation VIM expression and different stages of sepsis development will be further verified in lager clinical trials, as well as the relationship between VIM expression and apoptosis of immune cells (e.g lymphocytes) will also be clarified. This may indicate that the role of VIM in the cell-mediated immunity apoptosis and inflammation-related pathways. Through the implementation of this study, we can clarify the clinical value of VIM and the mechanism of VIM-mediated immune cell apoptosis during the sepsis development from the molecular level, and determine whether the VIM as a new target for sepsis diagnosis and treatment.
