DNA-PKcs promotes sepsis-induced multiple organ failure by triggering mitochondrial dysfunction

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Multiple organ failure is the commonest cause of death in septic patients. OBJECTIVES: This study was undertaken in an attempt to elucidate the functional importance of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) on mitochondrial dysfunction associated with the development and progression of sepsis-related multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). METHODS: ) mice were used to...
