BACKGROUND Liver ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) induce Kupffer cell (KC) activation with increased release of proinflammatory cytokines. Prostaglandins are potent counterregulatory mediators to control the production of cytokines by macrophages. METHODS To study the role of cyclooxygenase metabolites for the release of proinflammatory cytokines by KC in liver I/R, Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 20-minute global hepatic ischemia and 60 minutes of reperfusion. Sham-operated animals were used as controls. Kinetics of spontaneous and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced release of proinflammatory cytokines and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by KC were assessed both in the presence and absence of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor ibuprofen. RESULTS Early after liver I/R (4, 16 hours) the spontaneous secretion of TNF-alpha (+1,058%), IL-1alpha (+152%), and IL-6 (+161%) by KC was increased (P <0.05), while PGE2 release in the I/R group was reduced by 51% (P <0.05) in comparison with the sham-operated group. Increased release of PGE2 in the later period (32 hours) after I/R was associated with decreased TNF-alpha release by KC. Inhibition of PGE2 production by ibuprofen induced a prolonged and enhanced production of TNF-alpha, while the release of IL-1alpha and IL-6 was not affected. CONCLUSIONS Liver I/R leads to a temporary suppression of PGE2 release by KC, while the release of TNF-alpha is increased. Thus, during early reperfusion, excessive secretion of TNF-alpha by KC may be the result of the absent negative feedback control of cyclooxygenase metabolites.

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
