We sought to determine whether gut-derived microbial factors influence the hepatic or intestinal inflammatory response to hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HS/R). Conventional and gnotobiotic mice contaminated with a defined microbiota without gram-negative bacteria were subjected to either a sham procedure or HS/R. Tissue samples were obtained 4 h later for assessing ileal mucosal permeability to FITC dextran and hepatic and ileal mucosal steady-state IL-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and TNF mRNA levels. Whereas HS/R significantly increased ileal mucosal permeability in conventional mice, this effect was not apparent in gnotobiotic animals. HS/R markedly increased hepatic mRNA levels for several proinflammatory genes in both conventional and gnotobiotic mice. HS/R increased ileal mucosal IL-6 and COX-2 mRNA expression in conventional but not gnotobiotic mice. If gnotobiotic mice were contaminated with Escherichia coli C25, HS/R increased ileal mucosal permeability and upregulated expression of IL-6 and COX-2. These data support the view that the hepatic inflammatory response to HS/R is largely independent of the presence of potentially pathogenic gram-negative bacteria colonizing the gut, whereas the local mucosal response to HS/R is profoundly influenced by the microbial ecology within the lumen during and shortly after the period of hemorrhage.
