unassigned: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is often required in critically ill patients. However, prolonged mechanical ventilation can lead to Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD), resulting in difficulty in extubation after tracheal intubation, prolonged ICU stay, and increased mortality. At present, the incidence of diabetes is high in the world, and the prognosis of diabetic patients with mechanical ventilation is generally poor. Therefore, the role of diabetes in the development of VIDD needs to be discovered.

unassigned: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is often required in critically ill patients. However, prolonged mechanical ventilation can lead to Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD), resulting in difficulty in extubation after tracheal intubation, prolonged ICU stay, and increased mortality. At present, the incidence of diabetes is high in the world, and the prognosis of diabetic patients with mechanical ventilation is generally poor. Therefore, the role of diabetes in the development of VIDD needs to be discovered.
unassigned: MV modeling was performed on C57 mice and DB mice, and the control group was set up in each group. After 12 h of mechanical ventilation, the muscle strength of the diaphragm was measured, and the muscle fiber immunofluorescence staining was used to verify the successful establishment of the MV model. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) method was used to detect mRNA expression levels of the diaphragms of each group, and then differential expressed gene analysis, Heatmap analysis, WGCNA analysis, Venn analysis, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed. qRT-PCR was used to verify the expression of the selected mRNAs.
unassigned: Our results showed that, compared with C57 control mice, the muscle strength and muscle fiber cross-sectional area of mice after mechanical ventilation decreased, and DB mice showed more obvious in this respect. RNA-seq showed that these differential expressed (DE) mRNAs were mainly related to genes such as extracellular matrix, collagen, elastic fiber and Fbxo32. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the signaling pathways associated with diabetes were mainly as follows: extracellular matrix (ECM), protein digestion and absorption, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, etc. ECM has the closest relationship with VIDD in diabetic mice. The key genes determined by WGCNA and Venn analysis were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), which exhibited trends similar to those observed by RNA-seq.
unassigned: VIDD can be aggravated in diabetic environment. This study provides new evidence for mRNA changes after mechanical ventilation in diabetic mice, suggesting that ECM and collagen may play an important role in the pathophysiological mechanism and progression of VIDD in diabetic mice, and provides some clues for the research, diagnosis, and treatment of VIDD in diabetic context.
