| Abstract |
BACKGROUND/AIMS:We examined whether antigen-nonspecific accumulation of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages in the liver by the overexpression of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) could prime severe liver injury after LPS injection. METHODS:We injected a recombinant adenovirus encoding GM-CSF intravenously (AdGM), and LPS was administered 7 days later. Liver histology, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and apoptosis of hepatocytes were examined. RESULTS:Liver histology of the AdGM-primed mice showed marked infiltrates of mononuclear cells (DCs and macrophages) without granuloma formation on day 7. Expression of toll-like receptor-4 on intrahepatic mononuclear cells isolated from AdGM-primed mice was up-regulated. After LPS injection, serum ALT levels in AdGM-primed mice reached about 6000 IU/l at 12 h, and all those mice died within 24 h. Hemorrhagic liver injury with massive apoptosis of hepatocytes was histologically recognized. When AdGM and LPS were injected in FasL-deficient C57BL/6J-gld/gld mice, serum ALT levels were not elevated by the pretreatment with a neutralizing anti-TNF-alpha antibody. CONCLUSIONS:Our present study provides a new model of severe liver injury, in which antigen-nonspecific accumulation of DCs and macrophages in the liver by overexpressing GM-CSF enhances the susceptibility to LPS, leading to hemorrhagic liver injury with massive hepatocyte apoptosis after LPS injection. |
