OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to study the role of CD14 and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in Kupffer cells (KCs) on ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in rat liver grafts. METHODS Isolated KCs were obtained from control, IRI, and IRI plus anti-CD14 antibody groups. We measured messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression of the lipopolysaccharide receptor CD14 and TLR4, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κβ) activity, and TNF-α levels. RESULTS mRNA and protein expressions of CD14 and TLR4 were significantly higher in the IRI than in the control group, as were protein expressions of CD14 and TLR4 by flow cytometry and by Western blots. NF-κβ activity and tumor necrosis factor-α level in the IRI group were significantly higher than in the control group (3.17 ± 0.21 and 0.28 ± 0.03 vs 654.2 ± 3.6 pg/mL and 147.4 ± 1.1 pg/mL; t value = 4.11 and 4.29 for each; P < .01). Compared with the IRI group they were greatly decreased after anti-CD14 antibody treatment: 2.14 ± 0.17 vs 3.17 ± 0.21, 298.7 ± 1.8 pg/mL vs 654.2 ± 3.6 pg/mL (t value = 2.52 and 2.92 for each; P < .05). They were still significantly higher than the control group (t values of 3.01 and 3.27 for each; P < .01). CONCLUSIONS IRI up-regulated CD14 and TLR4 gene expression in KCs, and subsequently activated NF-κβ to produce cytokines.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
