Mechanism of lactic acidemia-promoted pulmonary endothelial cells death in sepsis: role for CIRP-ZBP1-PANoptosis pathway

Abstract

These findings unveil a novel pathway by which lactic acidemia promotes macrophage-derived eCIRP release, which, in turn, mediates ZBP1-dependent PVEC PANoptosis in sepsis-induced ALI. This finding offers new insights into the molecular mechanisms driving sepsis-related pulmonary complications and provides potential new therapeutic strategies.
