| Research Abstract |
We evaluated the epigenetic gene regulation in mice model of polymicrobial sepsis. The peritoneal macrophages recovered from septic mice showed M2 phenotype and was regulated by histone modification. CXCR2 levels in peripheral neutrophils recovered from septic mice were also regulated by epigenetic change, contributing to worsening the severity of sepsis. In addition, we showed the importance of MLL, a histone H3K4 methyltransferase, during sepsis.
