Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a very important immunosuppressive substance that is synthesized and released by all macrophages including Kupffer cells (KCs). In this study the changes of PGE2 released by KCs were evaluated in a burned guinea pig model. Prostaglandin E2 was released by KCs from burned guinea pigs at a consistently and significantly high level when stimulated with endotoxin. On postburn day 8, KCs that were cocultured with hepatocytes released significantly less PGE2. There was also a significant decrease in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity on postburn day 1. Kupffer cells can mediate immune suppression in burn injury by a prolonged increased production of PGE2 that has immunosuppressive effects on other cells and by a decreased cytotoxic effect soon after burn injury.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
D007728 Kupffer Cells Specialized phagocytic cells of the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM found on the luminal surface of the hepatic sinusoids. They filter bacteria and small foreign proteins out of the blood and dispose of worn out red blood cells. Kupffer Cell,Cell, Kupffer,Cells, Kupffer

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.

D000920 Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity The phenomenon of antibody-mediated target cell destruction by non-sensitized effector cells. The identity of the target cell varies, but it must possess surface IMMUNOGLOBULIN G whose Fc portion is intact. The effector cell is a "killer" cell possessing Fc receptors. It may be a lymphocyte lacking conventional B- or T-cell markers, or a monocyte, macrophage, or polynuclear leukocyte, depending on the identity of the target cell. The reaction is complement-independent.
