Transcriptomics Changes of Calcitonin Gene-related Peptide in Mitigating Lipopolysaccharide-induced Septic Cardiomyopathy

ABSTRACT: Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is the predominant cause of death in sepsis patients with undefined mechanism to date. Our study analyzed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data from rat heart tissue to discover key targets and potential pharmacological actions of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) against SCM. A lipopolysaccharide-induced SCM model was established in rats (LPS 10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal (i.p.)). Thereafter, the myocardial tissues from the three groups of rats (Ctrl group, LPS group, and CGRP group) (n=5) were extracted and underwent RNA-seq, followed by bioinformatics analyses. Our findings suggest a basis for finding potential targets for CGRP in the treatment of SCM.
