An altered microRNA profile exists in many infectious diseases, including sepsis. CD39(+) regulatory T-cells (Tregs) have a remarkable immunosuppressive effect and play an important role in the regulation of immune balance in sepsis. However, the correlation between microRNA changes and the ratio of CD39(+) Tregs in sepsis patients has not yet been reported. The altered microRNA expression profile in sepsis patients was analyzed in this study. Moreover, the correlation between microRNAs and disease severity and prognosis was investigated. Furthermore, the correlation between microRNAs and the percentage of peripheral blood CD39(+) Tregs was investigated and further verified in an animal model.
