Sepsis remains a leading cause of death in ICUs all over the world, with pediatric sepsis accounting for a high percentage of mortality in pediatric ICUs. Its complexity makes it difficult to establish a consensus on genetic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. A promising strategy is to investigate the regulatory mechanisms involved in sepsis progression, but there are few studies regarding gene regulation in sepsis. This work aimed to reconstruct the sepsis regulatory network and identify transcription factors (TFs) driving transcriptional states, which we refer to here as master regulators. We used public gene expression datasets to infer the co-expression network associated with sepsis in a retrospective study. We identified a set of 15 TFs as potential master regulators of pediatric sepsis, which were divided into two main clusters. The first cluster corresponded to TFs with decreased activity in pediatric sepsis, and GATA3 and RORA, as well as other TFs previously implicated in the context of inflammatory response. The second cluster corresponded to TFs with increased activity in pediatric sepsis and was composed of TRIM25, RFX2, and MEF2A, genes not previously described as acting in a coordinated way in pediatric sepsis. Altogether, these results show how a subset of master regulators TF can drive pathological transcriptional states, with implications for sepsis biology and treatment.
