Project description:Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a major complication of liver resection or liver transplantation that can seriously affect patient's prognosis. There is currently no definitive and effective treatment strategy for HIRI. Autophagy is an intracellular self-digestion pathway initiated to remove damaged organelles and proteins, which maintains cell survival, differentiation, and homeostasis. Recent studies have shown that autophagy is involved in the regulation of HIRI. Numerous drugs and treatments can change the outcome of HIRI by controlling the pathways of autophagy. This review mainly discusses the occurrence and development of autophagy, the selection of experimental models for HIRI, and the specific regulatory pathways of autophagy in HIRI. Autophagy has considerable potential in the treatment of HIRI.

Project description:Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) limits access to transplantation. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a powerful antioxidant enzyme which degrades free heme into biliverdin, free iron and carbon monoxide. HO-1 and its metabolites have the ability to modulate a wide variety of inflammatory disorders including hepatic IRI. Mechanisms of this protective effect include reduction of oxygen free radicals, alteration of macrophage and T cell phenotype. Further work is required to understand the physiological importance of the many actions of HO-1 identified experimentally, and to harness the protective effect of HO-1 for therapeutic potential.

Project description:UnlabelledHepatic ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury is a major clinical problem that leads to frequent extrahepatic complications including intestinal dysfunction and acute kidney injury (AKI). In this study we aimed to determine the mechanisms of hepatic IR-induced extrahepatic organ dysfunction. Mice subjected to 60 minutes of hepatic IR not only developed severe hepatic injury but also developed significant AKI and small intestinal injury. Hepatic IR induced small intestinal Paneth cell degranulation and increased interleukin-17A (IL-17A) levels in portal vein plasma and small intestine. We also detected increased levels of IL-17A messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein in Paneth cells after hepatic IR with laser capture dissection. IL-17A-neutralizing antibody treatment or genetic deletion of either IL-17A or IL-17A receptors significantly protected against hepatic IR-induced acute liver, kidney, and intestinal injury. Leukocyte IL-17A does not contribute to organ injury, as infusion of wildtype splenocytes failed to exacerbate liver and kidney injury in IL-17A-deficient mice after hepatic IR. Depletion of Paneth cell numbers by pharmacological (with dithizone) or genetic intervention (SOX9 flox/flox Villin cre+/- mice) significantly attenuated intestinal, hepatic, and renal injury following liver IR. Finally, depletion of Paneth cell numbers significantly decreased small intestinal IL-17A release and plasma IL-17A levels after liver IR.ConclusionTaken together, the results show that Paneth cell-derived IL-17A plays a critical role in hepatic IR injury and extrahepatic organ dysfunction. Modulation of Paneth cell dysregulation may have therapeutic implications by reducing systemic complications arising from hepatic IR.

Project description:Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the leading causes of mortality following partial hepatectomy, liver transplantation, hypovolemic shock and trauma; however, effective therapeutic targets for the treatment of hepatic I/R injury are lacking. Recent studies have shown that diminazene aceturate (DIZE) has protective effects against inflammation, oxidative stress and cell death, which are the main pathogenetic mechanisms associated with hepatic I/R injury. However, the mechanistic effects DIZE exerts on hepatic I/R remain unknown. C57BL/6 male mice were pretreated with either 15 mg/kg DIZE or vehicle control (saline) and subjected to partial liver ischemia for 60 min. One day after induction of hepatic I/R, liver damage, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and apoptosis were analyzed. By evaluating plasma alanine aminotransferase levels and histology, we found that DIZE treatment attenuated liver failure and was associated with a reduction in histologically-apparent liver damage. We also found that DIZE-treated mice had milder inflammatory responses, less reactive oxidative damage and less apoptosis following hepatic I/R compared to vehicle-treated mice. Taken together, our study demonstrates that DIZE protects against ischemic liver injury by attenuating inflammation and oxidative damage and may be a potential therapeutic agent for the prevention and treatment of ischemic liver failure.

Project description:Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, a common clinical complication of liver transplantation, gravely affects patient prognosis. Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) constitute a family of C2/H2 zinc finger DNA-binding proteins. KLF6, a member of the KLF protein family, plays crucial roles in proliferation, metabolism, inflammation, and injury responses; however, its role in HIR is largely remains unknown. After I/R injury, we found that KLF6 expression in mice and hepatocytes was significantly upregulated. Mice were then subjected to I/R following injection of shKLF6- and KLF6-overexpressing adenovirus through the tail vein. KLF6 deficiency markedly exacerbated liver damage, cell apoptosis, and activation of hepatic inflammatory responses, whereas hepatic overexpression of KLF6 in mice produced the opposite results. In addition, we knocked out or overexpressed KLF6 in AML12 cells before exposing them to a hypoxia-reoxygenation challenge. KLF6 knockout decreased cell viability and increased hepatocyte inflammation, apoptosis, and ROS, whereas KLF6 overexpression had the opposite effects. Mechanistically, KLF6 inhibited the overactivation of autophagy at the initial stage, and the regulatory effect of KLF6 on I/R injury was autophagy-dependent. CHIP-qPCR and luciferase reporter gene assays confirmed that KLF6 bound to the promoter region of Beclin1 and inhibited its transcription. Additionally, KLF6 activated the mTOR/ULK1 pathway. Finally, we performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of liver transplantation patients and identified significant associations between KLF6 expression and liver function following liver transplantation. In conclusion, KLF6 inhibited the overactivation of autophagy via transcriptional regulation of Beclin1 and activation of the mTOR/ULK1 pathway, thereby protecting the liver from I/R injury. KLF6 is expected to serve as a biomarker for estimating the severity of I/R injury following liver transplantation.

Project description:Neutrophils play critical roles during the initial phase of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI). However, the regulation of neutrophil activation, infiltration, and proinflammatory cytokine secretion has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we revealed that OX40 was expressed by neutrophils, its expression in neutrophils was time-dependently upregulated following HIRI, and Ox40 knockout markedly alleviated liver injury. Compared with wild-type neutrophils, the adoptive transfer of Ox40-/- neutrophils decreased HIRI in neutrophil-depleted Rag2/Il2rg-/- or Ox40-/- mice. Moreover, consistently, the in vitro experiments showed that Ox40 not only prolonged neutrophil survival but also promoted proinflammatory cytokines, ROS production, and even neutrophil chemotaxis. Further investigation demonstrated that the knockout of Ox40 in neutrophils inhibited NF-κB signaling via the TRAF1/2/4 and IKKα/IKKβ/IκBα pathways. OX40L and OX86 stimulation could enhance neutrophil activation and survival in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, our study provides a new understanding of OX40, which is expressed not only in adaptive immune cells but also in innate immune cells, i.e., neutrophils, contributing to the activation and survival of neutrophils. These findings provide a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of HIRI during liver transplantation or hepatic surgery.

Project description:Hepatic ischemia reperfusion (IR) is the leading cause of acute liver failure (ALF) during the perioperative period and patients with ALF frequently develop acute kidney injury (AKI). There is no effective therapy for AKI associated with ALF because pathomechanisms are incompletely characterized, in part due to the lack of an animal model. In this study, we characterize a novel murine model of AKI following hepatic IR. Mice subjected to approximately 70% liver IR not only developed acute liver dysfunction, but also developed severe AKI 24 h after liver injury. Mice subjected to liver IR developed histological changes of acute tubular injury including focal proximal tubular cell necrosis involving the S3 segment, cortical tubular ectasia, focal tubular simplification and granular bile/heme cast formation. In addition, there was focal interstitial edema and hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. Inflammatory changes in the kidney after hepatic IR included neutrophil infiltration of the interstitium and upregulation of several proinflammatory mRNAs (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, keratinocyte-derived cytokine, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-2, intercellular adhesion molecule-1). In addition, marked renal endothelial cell apoptosis was detected involving peritubular interstitial capillaries, accompanied by increased renal vascular permeability. Finally, there was severe disruption of renal proximal tubule epithelial filamentous-actin. Our results show that AKI rapidly and reproducibly develops in mice after hepatic IR and is characterized by renal tubular necrosis, inflammatory changes and interstitial capillary endothelial apoptosis. Our murine model of AKI after liver injury closely mimics human AKI associated with ALF and may be useful in delineating the mechanisms and potential therapies for this common clinical condition.

Project description:Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and associated inflammation contributes to liver dysfunction and complications after liver surgery and transplantation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported to reduce hepatic IRI because of their reparative immunomodulatory effects in injured tissues. Recent studies have highlighted beneficial effects of extracellular vesicles from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EV) on tissue injury. The effects of systemically administered mouse bone marrow-derived MSC-EV were evaluated in an experimental murine model of hepatic IRI induced by cross-clamping the hepatic artery and portal vein for 90 minutes followed by reperfusion for periods of up to 6 hours. Compared with controls, intravenous administration of MSC-EV 30 minutes prior to IRI dramatically reduced the extent of tissue necrosis, decreased caspase 3-positive and apoptotic cells, and reduced serum aminotransferase levels. MSC-EV increased hepatic messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of NACHT, LRR, and PYD domains-containing protein 12, and the chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1, and reduced mRNA expression of several inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 6 during IRI. MSC-EV increased cell viability and suppressed both oxidative injury and nuclear factor kappa B activity in murine hepatocytes in vitro. In conclusion, the administration of extracellular vesicles derived from bone marrow-derived MSCs may ameliorate hepatic IRI by reducing hepatic injury through modulation of the inflammatory response.Liver Transplantation 23 791-803 2017 AASLD.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation is a promising treatment for ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). However, its effects on hepatic IRI were not consistent in the previous studies. 3D spheroid-cultured MSCs enhance their production of trophic and anti-inflammatory properties, but their effects on hepatic IRI remain unclear. In this study, we compared the 3D spheroid-cultured human umbilical derived MSCs (3D UC-MSCs) with 2D-cultured UC-MSCs (2D UC-MSCs) on treating hepatic IRI. The RNA sequencing data showed that suppression of cell mitosis, response to hypoxia, inflammation, and angiogenesis were the top genetic changes in 3D UC-MSCs compared with 2D UC-MSCs. Although both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes were upregulated in the 3D UC-MSCs, the mRNA and protein of an RNase (ZC3H12A), which turnovers the mRNA of pro-inflammatory genes at the post-transcript level, were significantly upregulated in 3D UC-MSCs. 3D UC-MSCs reduced the secretion of many chemokines and growth factors, but increased the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor. Compared with the vehicle and 2D UC-MSCs, 3D UC-MSCs significantly reduced hepatic IRI in rats, based on the plasma aminotransferase levels, liver damage scores, neutrophil infiltration, hepatocyte apoptosis and expression of inflammation-associated genes. These findings suggest that 3D UC-MSCs therapy is a promising treatment for hepatic IRI.
