Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is associated with increased risk of long-term cognitive impairment. SAE is driven, at least in part, by brain endothelial dysfunction in response to systemic cytokine signaling. However, the mechanisms driving SAE and its consequences remain largely unknown.

SAE is driven, at least in part, by brain endothelial dysfunction in response to systemic cytokine signaling. However, the mechanisms driving SAE and its consequences remain largely unknown.

Here, we show that kidney injury after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) insult leads to strong endothelial transcriptional and epigenetic responses.
