Abstract

Recently, microRNAs(miRNAs) are found to be abundantly present in body fluids including plasma and serum, and called circulating miRNAs. Increasing evidences suggest that circulating miRNAs may be useful as stable blood-based biomarkers in sepsis. Serum miR-21-3p is significantly increased in septic patients compared with healthy controls. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses suggest that these plasma miR-21-3p may be useful biomarkers for discriminating patients with sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) from healthy controls. miR-21-3p yields the ROC area under the curve
(AUC) of 0.949. Further analyses indicate that the expression level of miR-21-3p is correlated with the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (r = 0.968, P < 0.001) and cardiac troponin T (cTNT) level (r = 0.257, P = 0.002). Serum miR-21-3p may serve as new biomarkers for sepsis with high specificity and sensitivity.
