SIRT1-RAB7 Axis Attenuates NLRP3 and STING Activation through Late Endosomal-Dependent Mitophagy during Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury

The SIRT1-Rab7 Axis Regulates NLRP3 and STING Activation in Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury via Terminal Endosome-Dependent Mitophagy Academic Background Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the leading causes of death in septic patients, primarily due to the pro-inflammatory changes and permeability defects in endothelial cells (ECs). Mitochondrial ...
