摘要
The present study was conducted to clarify whether endotoxin-induced liver injury could be improved by modulating the function of hepatic macrophages using OK432, an immunostimulant derived from Streptococcus. OK432 elevated the capacity of hepatic macrophages to produce superoxide and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and enhanced the mRNA expression of interleukin-1-alpha, -beta, and TNF-alpha in liver nonparenchymal cells (NPC), However, intravenous (iv) preadministration of OK432 reduced the mRNA expression of TNF-alpha in liver NPC enhanced by the endotoxin injection, decreased the serum level of GOT and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), and improved the survival rate of endotoxin-injected rats. Histological examination revealed a significant reduction in cell vacuolization and focal necrosis in the livers of the endotoxin-injected rats pretreated with OK432. These results indicate that hepatic macrophages play a crucial role in endotoxin-induced liver injury, and that TNF-alpha is one of the factors most likely to be implicated in the development of endotoxin-induced liver injury. Thus, it is suggested that the administration of OK432 provides liver protection by modulating the responsiveness of hepatic macrophages against endotoxin.
