Background.
There is a pressing need for specific prognostic markers that could be used to monitor the severity of sepsis.
The aims of our study were to investigate changes in the expression of different molecular forms of fibronectin in sepsis and to assess their relationship to the clinical severity and mortality of patients.
Material and Methods.
Forms of fibronectin: plasma (pFN), cellular (EDA-FN), FN-fibrin complexes, and fibronectin fragments were analyzed in 71 sepsis patients (survivors and nonsurvivors) and in the control by ELISA and immunoblotting.
Results.
The baseline pFN concentration of patients with sepsis was significantly lower than in the control (133.0 mg/L vs.
231.2 mg/L) (P<0.001), and in nonsurvivors, it was lower than in survivors (106.0 mg/L vs.
152.8 mg/L) (P=0.004).
The baseline EDA-FN was significantly elevated in both sepsis groups (survivors: 6.7 mg/L; nonsurvivors: 9.4 mg/L) compared to the control (1.4 mg/L) (P<0.001).
It should be noted that among patients with more severe sepsis, the EDA-FN level was higher in nonsurvivors than in survivors.
Furthermore, molecular FN-fibrin complexes as well as FN fragments occurred much more frequently in nonsurvivors than in survivors.
Conclusion.
The study showed that in sepsis, changes in plasmatic and cellular form of fibronectin were associated with the severity of sepsis and may be useful predictors of outcome.
