Renal mRNA levels of CD31, PV-1 and VE-Cadherin did not differ from control individuals yet were increased in bacterial sepsis patients (CD31 fold change 2.3, p = 0.0006, PV-1 fold change 1.5, p = 0.008) (Fig. 4d). The gene discussed is PECAM1; the disease is bacterial infectious disease with sepsis.
