Modulation of Chemokine- and Adhesion-Molecule Gene Expression and Recruitment of Neutrophil Granulocytes in Rat and Mouse Liver after a Single Gadolinium Chloride or Zymosan Treatment

Kupffer cells are professional phagocytes of the liver clearing bacteria from portal blood. Their clearance capacity, however, can be overwhelmed, transforming them into critical mediators of hepatic-injury. We investigated the consequences of selective Kupffer cell-overload by intraperitoneally adm...

description Kupffer cells are professional phagocytes of the liver clearing bacteria from portal blood. Their clearance capacity, however, can be overwhelmed, transforming them into critical mediators of hepatic-injury. We investigated the consequences of selective Kupffer cell-overload by intraperitoneally administering pyrogen-free gadolinium chloride (GdCl(3)) or Zymosan into rats and into endotoxin-resistant mice (C3H/HeJ). The number of myeloperoxidase-positive (MPO(+)) cells increased at 3 h mainly around the portal vessel after both GdCl(3) and Zymosan treatment. Simultaneously, GdCl(3) administration reduced detectability of ED-1(+) (but not ED-2) cells near the portal vessel. Serum chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL-1), CXCL-2 and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL-2) showed a peak at 3 h after both treatment regimens although at a higher extent after Zymosan administration. Accordingly, CXCL-1, CXCL-5 and CCL-2 gene expression in the liver was up-regulated after GdCl(3) treatment at 3 h. After Zymosan administration a significant up-regulation of CXCL-1, CXCL-2, CXCL-10, CCL-2, CCL-3 and CCL-20 gene expression in liver at 3 h was observed. After Zymosan administration intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) gene expression was up-regulated in rat liver tissue. In C3H/HeJ mice both treatment regimens up-regulated CCL-2 and ICAM-1 gene expression after 3 h and down-regulated platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1) gene expression. In conclusion, phagocytosis overload of Kupffer cells causes induction of several CXC, CC-chemokines, upregulation of “positive” adhesion molecule gene expression, down-regulation of the “negative” adhesion molecule PECAM-1 and a recruitment of neutrophil granulocytes in the portal area of the liver of treated rats and mice mainly in close contact to the liver macrophages.
