Abstract:
:Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induces intrahepatic cholestasis and canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter (CMOAT/MRP2) plays a central role in hepatic bilirubin transport. This study examined the role of Kupffer cell in LPS-induced cholestasis. Rats were injected intravenously with LPS. Kupffer cells were inactivated with gadolinium chloride (Gd). CMOAT/MRP2 mRNA expression was time- and dose-dependently decreased by LPS injection with a decrease in bile flow and an increase in serum bilirubin level. Gd pretreatment inhibited decrease in CMOAT/MRP2 mRNA and bile flow, and increase in serum bilirubin. Kupffer cell-conditioned medium decreased CMOAT/MRP2 expression. Addition of anti-IL-1 or anti-TNFalpha antibody restored CMOAT/MRP2 expression, whereas IL-1 and TNFalpha decreased the expression. MAP kinases were activated by addition of the conditioned medium, and addition of PD98059 or SB203580 restored CMOAT/MRP2 expression. These results suggest that LPS activates Kupffer cells to secrete IL-1 and TNFalpha, which in turn activate MAP kinases and decrease CMOAT/MRP2 expression.
