Abstract:
Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome caused by a dysregulated immune response. A large number of adaptor proteins have been found to play a pivotal role in sepsis via protein-protein interactions, thus participating in inflammatory cascades, leading to the generation of numerous inflammatory cytokines, as well as oxidative stress and regulated cell death. Although available strategies for the diagnosis and management of sepsis have improved, effective and specific treatments are lacking. This review focuses on the emerging role of adaptor proteins in regulating the innate immunity of sepsis and evaluates the potential value of adaptor protein-associated therapeutic strategy for sepsis.
