摘要

Background

Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is a severe condition involving stress proteins, inflammation, and gut microbiota dysbiosis. Understanding whether regulatory proteins influence HS through microbial pathways is crucial for improving therapeutic strategies.

Methods

We used Mendelian randomization (MR) combined with animal experiments to investigate the role of regulatory proteins in HS. Two-sample MR was performed to assess the impact of various stress-related proteins. Additionally, 16 S rRNA sequencing was conducted in a rat HS model to analyze gut microbiota diversity and composition at baseline, 24 h, and 72 h after hemorrhage.

Results

Two-sample MR identified HSPB1 and HIF1A as protective proteins, while APAF1, F7, and F10 increased susceptibility to HS. In the rat model, microbiota alpha diversity decreased at 24 h but partially recovered by 72 h, with significant shifts in beta diversity. Genus-level analysis revealed transient expansion of Lactobacillus, followed by dominance of Blautia and Romboutsia. Stage-specific predictions from PICRUSt2 suggested enrichment of amino acid metabolism and protein synthesis, particularly at 72 h, implicating microbial regulation in cellular recovery and stress adaptation.

Conclusions

Our findings support a “protein-microbiota-HS” regulatory framework, highlighting the gut microbiota as key mediators of host stress responses. This integrative approach provides mechanistic insights into HS pathogenesis and suggests potential microbiome-targeted therapeutic strategies. We propose that targeting specific microbial communities, such as Blautia and Lactobacillus, could enhance recovery from HS.
