Additionally, we aim to comprehensively profile the transcriptomic landscape of neutrophils in BALF from patients with sepsis and SI-ARDS, particularly focusing on cases caused by specific bacterial pathogens.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Patients with confirmed sepsis (n = 14) or SI-ARDS (n = 11) were recruited. Besides, a control group consisting of patients with unrelated diseases (n = 7) who required bronchoscopy was also included (cohort 1). We collected the neutrophils in BALF from participants in cohort 1. To validate the identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and evaluate neutrophil apoptosis, an additional cohort (cohort 2) was recruited, consisting of 5 healthy controls, 10 patients with sepsis, and 10 patients with SI-ARDS. Peripheral blood neutrophils were collected from participants in cohort 2 for further analysis. DEGs between SI-ARDS patients and controls, sepsis patients and controls, as well as SI-ARDS patients and sepsis patients were identified. And, publicly available datasets were downloaded to compare with local results. Additionally, the DEGs were also identified between patients infected with drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and those infected with other bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, a third cohort (cohort 3) consisting of 57 sepsis patients and 46 SI-ARDS patients was recruited for investigating the prognostic significance of neutrophils in SI-ARDS.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In cohort 1, 8/14 of the septic patients and 6/11 of the SI-ARDS patients were affected by drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia. There were 9921 DEGs between sepsis patients and controls, 10,252 DEGs between SI-ARDS patients and controls, and 24 DEGs between SI-ARDS and sepsis patients in neutrophils from BALF. Notably, fatty acid-binding pro-tein 4 (FABP4) exhibited significant downregulation in SI-ARDS patients. In cohort 2, peripheral blood analysis confirmed consistent trends, demonstrating that FABP4 expression was decreased, which contributed to the attenuation of neutrophil apoptosis. And FABP4 inhibitor-induced apoptosis resistance was reversed by a phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitor. Furthermore, survival analysis revealed that SI-ARDS patients with low levels of neutrophil FABP4 expression exhibited poor survival. Additionally, 520 overlapping DEGs were identified between the sepsis and control group comparisons and the SI-ARDS and sepsis group comparisons. Among these overlapping DEGs, 85% were downregulated, predominantly targeting immune-related pathways, whereas a smaller subset was upregulated, mainly associated with metabolism.
