Due to the role that circRNAs play in the modulation of different cytokines and immune proteins [62, 63] , altered states of alternative splicing in sepsis may alter the expression of circRNAs, which could partially explain the changes in the immune response of septic patients. However, circRNAs may play a key role in sepsis because of their ability to modulate different molecular mechanisms [10] , including inflammation [83] and immune response [62] , and to control multiple biological processes in metabolic organs (i.e., liver, pancreas [84] ) ( Figure 3 and Table 1 ). Interestingly, circRNAs may function as "molecular sponges", by controlling the expression of different types of non-coding RNAs, such as miRNAS, involved in regulating different processes in sepsis [105] [106] [107] [108] . ./cache/cord-297039-vfuem6bk.txt ./txt/cord-297039-vfuem6bk.txt
