MAFG and Sepsis: In addition, expression of the nine key genes in whole blood between sepsis patients and non-sepsis patients was compared by RT-qPCR, and CHPT1, CPEB4, DNAJC3, MAFG, NARF, SNX3, S100A9, S100A12, and METTL9 levels in the sepsis group were significantly elevated compared with those in the non-sepsis group (Figures 7A–I).
