BackgroundCritical illness myopathy (CIM) is associated with severe skeletal muscle wasting and impaired function in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The mechanisms underlying CIM remain incompletely understood. To elucidate the biological activities occurring at the transcriptional level in the skeletal muscle of ICU patients with CIM, the gene expression profiles, potential upstream regulators, and enrichment pathways were characterized using RNA sequencing(RNA-seq). We also compared the skeletal muscle gene signatures in ICU patients with CIM and genes perturbed by mechanical loading in one leg of the ICU patients, with an aim of reducing the loss of muscle function.MethodsRNA-seq was used to assess gene expression changes in tibialis anterior skeletal muscle samples from seven critically ill, immobilized, and mechanically ventilated ICU patients with CIM and matched control subjects. We also examined skeletal muscle gene expression for both legs of six ICU patients with CIM, where one leg was mechanically loaded for 10h/day for an average of 9days.ResultsIn total, 6257 of 17,221 detected genes were differentially expressed (84% upregulated; p
