Abstract
To elucidate the induction of ferroptotic pathways and the transcriptional modulation of pivotal genes in the context of hemorrhagic shock. The R software was used to analyze the GSE64711 dataset, isolating genes relevant to ferroptosis. Enrichment analyses and protein interaction networks were assembled. Using WGCNA hub genes were identified and intersected with ferroptosis-related genes, highlighting hub genes CD44 and MAPK14. In a rat hemorrhagic shock model, cardiac ROS, Fe2+, MDA, and GSH levels were assessed. Key ferroptotic proteins (SLC7A11/GPX4) in myocardial tissues were examined via western blot. Hub genes, CD44 and MAPK14, expressions were confirmed through immunohistochemistry. Analyzing the GSE64711 dataset revealed 337 differentially expressed genes, including 12 linked to ferroptosis. Enrichment analysis highlighted pathways closely related to ferroptosis. Using Genemania, we found these genes mainly affect ROS metabolism and oxidative stress response. WGCNA identified CD44 and MAPK14 as hub genes. Rat myocardial tissue validation showed significant cardiac damage and elevated ROS and MDA levels, and decreased GSH levels in the hemorrhagic shock model. The ferroptotic pathway SLC7A11/GPX4 was activated, and immunohistochemistry showed a significant increase in the expression levels of CD44 and MAPK14 in the hemorrhagic shock rat model. We demonstrated the presence of tissue ferroptosis in hemorrhagic shock by combining bioinformatics analysis with in vivo experimentation. Specifically, we observed the activation of the SLC7A11/GPX4 ferroptotic pathway. Further, CD44 and MAPK14 were identified as hub genes in hemorrhagic shock.
