Mitochondria-Derived Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns in Sepsis: From Bench to Bedside

الملخص EN

Sepsis is one of the most serious health hazards.

Current research suggests that the pathogenesis of sepsis is mediated by both pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).

Mitochondria are among the most important organelles in cells and determine their life and death.

A variety of mitochondria-derived DAMPs (mtDAMPs) are similar to bacteria because mitochondria are derived from bacteria according to the mitochondrial endosymbiotic theory.

Their activated signaling pathways extensively affect organ functions, the immune system, and metabolic functions in sepsis.

In this review, we describe the essential roles of mtDAMPs in sepsis and discuss their research prospects and clinical importance.
