Integrated multi-omics reveal important roles of gut contents in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion induced injuries in rats.

ABSTRACT: Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IIR) is a life-threatening clinical event with damaging signals whose origin and contents are unclear. Here we observe that IIR significantly affect the metabolic profiles of most organs by unbiased organ-wide metabolic analysis of gut contents, blood, and fifteen organs in rats (n = 29). Remarkably, correlations between gut content metabolic profiles and those of other organs are the most significant. Gut contents are also the only ones to show dynamic correlations during IIR. Additionally, according to targeted metabolomics analysis, several neurotransmitters are considerably altered in the gut during IIR, and displayed noteworthy correlations with remote organs. Likewise, metagenomics analysis (n = 35) confirm the effects of IIR on gut microbiota, and identify key species fundamental to the changes in gut metabolites, particularly neurotransmitters. Our multi-omics results establish key roles of gut contents in IIR induced remote injury and provide clues for future exploration.

Project description:PurposeIntestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is an unresolved clinical challenge due to its high prevalence, difficulty in diagnosis, and lack of clinically effective therapeutic agents. Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell-regulated death that has been shown to play a role in various I/R models and has been shown to be immune-related. Further unraveling the molecular mechanisms associated with ferroptosis and immunity in intestinal I/R injury may lead to the discovery of potentially effective drugs.MethodsWe obtained differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) in mouse intestinal tissues following intestinal I/R injury or sham surgery. Then, we extracted ferroptosis-related DEGs (FRGs) and immune-related DEGs (IRGs) from the DEGs. In addition, we performed functional analysis of FRGs and IRGs. Next, we used transcriptome sequencing from patients with intestinal I/R injury to validate the results. Then, we constructed transcription factors (TFs)-gene networks and gene-drug networks using mouse and human co-expressed FRGs (coFRG) and mouse and human co-expressed IRGs (coIRG). We also analyzed the composition of immune cells to reveal correlations between FRGs signatures and immune cells in the mouse and human gut. Finally, we validated these results through animal experiments.ResultsWe extracted 61 FRGs and 294 IRGs from mouse samples and performed PPI and functional analyses. We extracted 45 FRGs and 200 IRGs from human samples for validation, and identified 24 coFRGs,100 coIRGs and 6 hub genes (HSPA5, GDF15, TNFAIP3, HMOX1, CXCL2 and IL6) in both. We also predicted potential TF-gene networks for coFRGs and coIRGs, as well as predicted gene-drug pairs for hub genes. In addition, we found that the immune cells were altered in the early stages of intestinal I/R injury and that FRGs were closely associated with immune cells in mice and humans. Finally, we validated the hub genes in mouse samples.ConclusionIn conclusion, we identified ferroptosis and immunity-related genes to predict their correlations in intestinal I/R injury. We also predicated potential TF-genes network and potential therapeutic targets (HSPA5, GDF15, TNFAIP3, HMOX1, CXCL2 and IL6) to provide clues for further investigation of intestinal I/R injury.
