Ge1,3** OLR1 Knockdown Mitigates Traumatic-Hemorrhagic Shock- Induced Liver Injury by Inhibiting the TLR4/MYD88 Pathway and NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation 1Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Wuxi 9th People's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Wuxi, Jiangsu, 214000 China2Department of Critical Care Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University,Harbin, Heilongjiang, 150001 China 3Orthopedic Institution of Wuxi City, Wuxi, Jiangsu, 214000 China *mingyan1970@126.com **gexin2021@suda.edu.cn Received - 2025-02-14; Revised - 2025-04-15; Accepted - 2025-04-16 Traumatic-hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) is a critical condition characterized by massive hemorrhage, hypovolemia, tissue hypoxia, and the progression to multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). To investigate the role of oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1) in T/HS-induced liver injury, male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were utilized to establish a resuscitation after hemorrhagic shock (HS/R) model through controlled bloodletting and mean arterial pressure (MAP) monitoring. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining revealed a significant upregulation of hepatic OLR1 expression following HS/R. Interfering with OLR1 significantly improved coagulation parameters, as evidenced by shortened thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), along with reduced plasma thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complex levels. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining revealed extensive hepatocellular necrosis following HS/R, which was significantly alleviated by OLR1 knockdown. Biochemical analysis demonstrated reduced serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-18), highlighting the protective effect of OLR1 inhibition on liver function. Mechanistic studies revealed that OLR1 mediated HS/R-induced liver injury through the activation of the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88) pathway and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome- mediated pyroptosis, both of which were suppressed by OLR1 knockdown. These findings were corroborated in vitro using BRL-3A cells. In conclusion, OLR1 mediated HS/R-induced liver injury by regulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway and pyroptosis. Targeting OLR1 could offer a potential therapeutic strategy to mitigate liver damage, correct coagulation abnormalities, and improve outcomes in T/HS.
