Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Survivors of sepsis exhibit persistent immunosuppression. Epigenetic events may be responsible for some of these immunosuppressive changes. During sepsis circulating exosomes contain large quantities of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) mRNAs. We hypothesized that exosomes directly transfer DNMT mRNAs to recipient monocytes with resultant methylation events and immunosuppression. METHODS: Exosomes...
