Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) results in tumor necrosis factor (TNF) release. Kupffer cells (KC) are one source of this TNF. This study investigates the effects of hepatic I/R combined with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the lung and liver injury that follow hepatic I/R and on hepatic release of TNF, epithelial neutrophil activating protein (ENA-78), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2). The effects of these experimental conditions on TNF production by primary rat KC in vitro were also investigated. Rats were subjected to hepatic I/R alone, hepatic I/R + LPS, sham laparotomy alone, or sham laparotomy + LPS and pulmonary MPO, pulmonary microvascular permeability, hepatic neutrophil influx, hepatic injury, and hepatic TNF, ENA-78, and MIP-2 production were measured. These experiments demonstrated that hepatic I/R in conjunction with LPS results in a more severe lung and liver injury and increased hepatic TNF, ENA-78, and MIP-2 release. The effects of these experimental conditions on rat KC TNF production demonstrated that hepatic I/R + LPS results in a more significant release of TNF as compared to LPS alone or I/R alone. Hepatic I/R plus LPS results in a more severe lung and liver injury and is likely secondary to a more significant and prolonged release of TNF by KC. This may provide a mechanism for development of multiple organ system failure in some patients undergoing hepatic resection, hepatic transplantation, complex vascular operations, or in the setting of hypovolemic shock. Portal endotoxemia related to mesenteric venous congestion or other systemic insults may have a significant impact on post-operative complications and recovery in the setting of a local or global hepatic I/R injury.

pubmed:articleTitle
Lung and liver injury following hepatic ischemia/reperfusion in the rat is increased by exogenous lipopolysaccharide which also increases hepatic TNF production in vivo and in vitro.
