Microscopic infarcts develop within the livers of athymic nude mice during the first 24 h after human colorectal carcinoma (CRC) cells arrest within hepatic sinusoids. Because these regions are reperfused, essentially all weakly metastatic clone A and MIP-101 CRC cells die, whereas many highly metastatic CX-1 CRC cells survive. Because hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells kill tumor cells in vitro by producing nitric oxide, superoxide anion, and other reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, our purpose was to determine whether reoxygenation of ischemic hepatic cultures in vitro forms toxic oxygen and nitrogen radicals that kill weakly but not highly metastatic CRC cells. CRC cells (10(7)) were labeled with rhodamine-dextran and calcein AM, cultured with cells from one mouse liver in a rotating suspension culture system for up to 24 h, and the metabolic activity of the CRC cells was determined. Liver fragments oxygenated normally before harvest were not toxic to either CRC cell line, but coculture with liver made ischemic by a 3-min ligation of the portal vein and hepatic artery in vivo before harvest and then cultured in oxygenated medium killed 50-70% of weakly metastatic clone A and MIP-101 cells at 24 h but <15% of highly metastatic CX-1 cells. Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase, addition of exogenous superoxide dismutase, but not catalase or hypoxia, during coculture blocked the killing of weakly metastatic CRC cells. Thus, reoxygenation of hepatic parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells after ischemia may form toxic species that eliminate weakly metastatic CRCs within 24 h of their arrest in the liver.
