Previous studies have indicated that hemorrhage may predispose the lung to respiratory distress syndrome. Gene expression profiling with oligonucleotide microarrays was used to evaluate the genetic responses of the lung to hemorrhage. Conscious rats, chronically instrumented with a catheter and telemetry device to record blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature, had 40% of their estimated blood volume removed at a rate of 1 ml/min over 7–10 min. Groups of three or more rats were euthanized at 1, 3, 6, 16, 24, 48, or 72 h following hemorrhage. Two additional groups were unmanipulated controls and instrumented animals with sham hemorrhage. Total RNA was isolated from lung, reverse-transcribed to cDNA, fluorescently labeled, and hybridized to oligonucleotide microarrays probing 5,671 rat genes. After hemorrhage, statistically detectable alteration of expression was seen in ~0.8% of the genes at some time during the 72-h test period (vs. sham hemorrhage) as determined by false discovery rate statistics in the statistical analysis of microarrays program. A subset was confirmed by RT-PCR analysis. Hemorrhage influenced genes that regulate intracellular signaling and structure, growth factors, and hormonal receptors. There also appeared to be increased expression of genes that may mediate sequestration of neutrophils and mononuclear cells from the circulation. This hemorrhage model, although producing severe hemodynamic alterations, avoided mortality and histological evidence of lung damage, a feature intended to help ensure reliable evaluation of gene expression. These results indicate that gene expression profiling with microarrays provides a new tool for exploring the response of a tissue to systemic blood loss.
