Changes in renal tissue proteome induced by mesenteric lymph drainage in rats after hemorrhagic shock with resuscitation.

Kidney injury commonly occurs after hemorrhagic shock. Previous studies have shown that post-hemorrhagic shock mesenteric lymph (PHSML) return negatively affects the kidneys and may induce injury. This study investigates the effect of PHSML drainage on the proteome in renal tissue. A controlled hemorrhagic shock model was established in the shock and shock+drainage groups. After 1 h of hypotension, fluid resuscitation was implemented within 30 min. Meanwhile, PHSML was drained in the shock+drainage group. After 3 h of resuscitation, renal tissue was extracted for proteome analysis using two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis. Differential proteins with intensities that either increased or decreased by 1.5-fold or greater were selected for trypsin digestion and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry and tandem TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to validate the identified partial proteins. Compared with the sham group, hnRNPC and Starp decreased in the shock group, whereas Hadha, Slc25a13, Atp5b, hnRNPC, Starp, Rps3, and actin were downregulated in the shock+drainage group. Meanwhile, Atp5b and actin decreased in the shock+drainage group relative to the shock group. The identified proteins can be classified into different categories, such as cell proliferation (hnRNPC, Strap, and Rps3), energy metabolism (Hadha, Atp5b, and Slc25a13), cell motility, and cytoskeleton (actin). Moreover, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay measurement validated the changed levels of Atp5b and Actg2. Our findings provide a starting point for investigating the functions of differentially expressed proteins in acute kidney injury induced by hemorrhagic shock. These findings hold great potential for the development of therapeutic interventions.
