Brain death affects the hepatic immunogenicity of pigs.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to observe how the brain-death state affects the hepatic immunogenicity of pigs. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Twelve healthy ChangBai pigs were allocated randomly to 2 groups: control group (n = 6) with Foley catheter balloon placed intracalvarium for 24 hours only versus brain-death group (n = 6) with brain death for 24 hours. The serum and hepatic tissues were obtained at 6, 12, and 24 hours after the initial confirmation of brain death. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-6 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) was determined by immunohistochemistry, and the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) mRNA and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) mRNA by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS:The serum TNF-alpha and IL-6, MHC-II, ICAM-1 mRNA, and MCP-1 mRNA in hepatic tissues in the brain-death group were higher than in the control group; they all increased with time. CONCLUSION:Brain death increased liver immunogenicity, which may increase the immune lesion and rejection after transplantation.
