Survivin and caspases serum protein levels and survivin variants mRNA expression in sepsis.


ABSTRACT: Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection related to devastating outcomes. Recently, interest has been shifted towards apoptotic and antiapoptotic pathobiology. Apoptosis is executed through the activation of caspases regulated by a number of antiapoptotic proteins, such as survivin. The survivin and caspases' responses to sepsis have not yet been elucidated. This is a multicenter prospective observational study concerning patients with sepsis (n?=?107) compared to patients with traumatic systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (n?=?75) and to healthy controls (n?=?89). The expression of survivin was quantified through real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction for the different survivin splice variants (wild type-WT, ?Ex3, 2B, 3B) in peripheral blood leukocytes. The apoptotic or antiapoptotic tendency was specified by measuring survivin-WT, caspase-3, and -9 serum protein concentrations through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The survivin-WT, -2B, -??x3 mRNA, survivin protein, and caspases showed an escalated increase in SIRS and sepsis, whereas survivin-3B was repressed in sepsis (p?
