Epigenetic reprogramming of thousands of genes directs the course of acute systemic inflammation, which is highly lethal when dysregulated during sepsis. No molecular-based treatments for sepsis are available. A new concept supports that sepsis is an immunometabolic disease and that loss of control of nuclear epigenetic regulator Sirtuin 1 (SIRT-1), a NAD+ sensor directs immune and metabolic pathways during sepsis. SIRT-1, acting as homeostasis checkpoint, controls hyper and hypo inflammatory responses of sepsis at the microvascular interface, which disseminates inflammatory injury to cause multiple organ failure. Modifying SIRT-1 activity, which can prevent or treat established sepsis in mice, may provide a new way treat sepsis by epigenetically restoring immunometabolic homeostasis.
