ABSTRACT

Cirrhotic portal hypertension refers to a series of syndroms characterized by structural abnormality and dysfunction of hepatic sinusoid caused by chronic liver injury and obstructing portal-systemic blood flow, resulting in gradually increased portal venous system pressure as clinical manifestations. Increased intrahepatic resistance and portal venous system blood flow are main causes for cirrhotic portal hypertension. The structural abnormality and dysfunction of hepatic sinusoid cause not only increased intrahepatic resistance, but also substance exchange barriers between hepatic sinusoidal blood and hepatocytes, resulting in splanchnic artery dilation and increased blood flow and pressure of portal venous system. Dysfunction of splanchnic hemodynamic is an important factor for hyperdynamic circulation in cirrhotic portal hypertension. As the disease progresses, cirrhotic portal hypertension can continuously promote the activation of hyperdynamic circulation, which in turn can accelerate the development of cirrhotic portal hyperten-sion. This vicious circle is the main reason for the irreversible and untreatable end-stage liver disease. The authors review the pathophysiological mechanisms of cirrhotic portal hypertension, splanchnic hemodynamic dysfunction and hyperdynamic circulation.

ABSTRACT

Objective Due to the distortion of hepatic cells in hepatic steatosis, the characteristics of blood flow in the liver could change. This study observed the morphology, blood flow velocity and tortuosity changes aimed to help the diagnosis and treatment in the hepatic steatosis. Methods The hepatic steatosis model was established by subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and olive oil in mice, and then liver tissue was stained with HE and oil red 0 staining. Laser ultrasound was used to measure the blood flow changes in the superficial hepatic vessels of the left lobe. The mice's tail veins were injected with Texas red fluorescent dye, then two-photon fluorescence microscopy were used to detect the flow of red blood cells in mice's hepatic sinusoids, blood vessel diameter, the hepatic sinusoidal tortuosity. Results After injected with CCl4 for two(n= 16) or four(n= 16) weeks, the oil red 0 staining indicated lipid accumulation in hepatic cells, especially around the central vein. HE staining indicated narrowing of the hepatic sinusoidal vessels, and more obviously in 4-weeks group. As the modeling time increased, the blood flow velocity decreased gradually in hepatic sinusoids and superficial hepatic vessels in the left lobe, and the diameter of the hepatic sinusoids became smaller. Conclusion In the hepatic steatosis, the internal diameter of hepatic sinus decreases, and the blood flow also decreases in the hepatic sinusoids, but hepatic sinusoidal tortuosity increases. All of this provide a visual morphological experimental basis for the early diagnosis and treatment to the hepatic steatosis.

ABSTRACT

To investigate the effect of schisantherin A on liver sinusoid endothelial cell function and angiogenesis. Different dosages (0-40 μmol•L⁻¹) of schisantherin A were incubated 24 h with SK-HEP-1 cells, and the toxicity of SK-HEP-1 cells was assayed by MTT method. The proliferation of SK-HEP-1 cells were induced by the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), with receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib as the control, at the same time, set up the control group, 2, 20 μmol•L⁻¹ schisantherin A were incubated with SK-HEP-1 cells, cell proliferation was analyzed by EdU DNA cell proliferation kit. Fluorescence probe method was used to assay the intracellular NO levels and NOS activity. Tube formation was observed using cell migration and a matrigel tube formation assay. Rat aortic ring assay was performed to observe the sprouting vessels from aortic ring. The fluorescence vessels, the number of functional blood vessels, and intersegmental vessel changes of transgenic zebrafish were also observed. Compared with control group, the proliferation of SK-HEP-1 cells induced by VEGF increased and and the level of NO and NOS activity induced; compared with model group, 2, 20 μmol•L⁻¹ schisantherin A and sorafenib inhibited the proliferation of SK-Hep-1 cells induced by VEGF, and reduced the level of NO and NOS activity. At the dosage of 20 μmol•L⁻¹, schisantherin A attenuated the migration and tube formation of SK-HEP-1 cells induced by VEGF, and also inhibition the formation of rat aortic rings and intersegmental vessel changes of transgenic zebrafish, and significantly reduce the number of vessels in zebrafish. Schisantherin A has potential effects on function of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effectiveness and mechanism of Xiaoyao San (Xiaoyao Powder for Soothing Liver and Relieving Depression) in improving depression-like behavior of rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomized into normal group, model group, Xiaoyao San (1.9 g·kg-1·d-1) group, and fluoxetine (2 mg·kg-1·d-1) group. The rats were exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress ( CUMS) to induce rat depression-like behavior. Field test was performed for the observation of effect of Xiaoyao San on rat depression-like behavior, Luminex liquid chip system was applied to detect the serum cytokines, and the amount and size of rat hepatic sinusoidal endothelial window were examined under electron microscope, and hepatic indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase ( IDO) and tryptophan 2, 3 -dioxygenaes ( TDO) expression levels were detected by immunohistochemical and Western blot methods. Results Xiaoyao San showed obvious effect on increasing sugar water consumption, the number of crossing the blocks and erection frequency in rats, decreasing serum levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) and interleukin 6 ( IL-6) , increasing the amount of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial window, promoting hepatic sinusoidal endothelial vascularization, and reducing TDO and IDO expression ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Xiaoyao San exerts obvious effect on improving rat depression-like behaviors, and the mechanism is probably related with the decrease of inflammatory factors, inhibition of IDO pathway, and improvement of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial function.

ABSTRACT

Sinusoid lining endothelial cell(SEC) of the liver is a group of cells different from vessel lining endothelial cells with high heterogeneity characteristics, it shows many biological functions in normal liver and plays a role in liver injury caused by acute and chronic liver diseases as well as fibrogenesis. Increasing attention has been paid to the capillarization in hepatocellular carcinoma in recently years, some studies showed that SEC is attributed to the formation of capillarization with changes of the immunophenotype, such as expression of CD34.The pathological study of SEC on liver disease was briefly reviewed in this paper.

ABSTRACT

For studies on the developmental stages of migrating erythroid cells and the development of sinusoid, transmission and scanning electron microscopic observations were undertaken on rat fetal liver in 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 days of gestation. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The hepatic sinusoidal endothelium were mainly non-fenestrated cell and fenestrated cell with diaphragm before 17 days of gestation, but fenestrated cells without diaphragm began to appear after 17 days of gestation. Two types of fenestrae were observed, free and clustered fenestrae, but both types were not involved in migration of erythroid cells. 2. Endothelial cell was continuous with neighboring cells by intercellular junctions between lateral cytoplasmic processes with zonula adherens, and between perinuclear cytoplasms with macula adherens. 3. After 13 days of gestation, Kupffer cells showed as matured cell morphology of irregular shape with long cytoplasmic processes into hepatic cord and perisinusoidal space. 4. Migrating erythroid cells in rat fetal liver sinusoid were mainly consisted of immature erythroblasts from proerythroblast to acidophilic erythroblast. The migration occurred through the migrating pores formed on the various sites of the endothelial cytoplasm into the hepatic sinusoidal lumen with no relation to the maturation stages of erythroblast and endothelial cell. In summary, the migration of erythroid cells in the sinusoid of rat fetal liver occurred through the invasion and migration pores transiently formed at various sites of endothelial cytoplasm, and migrating erythroid cells were mainly nucleated immature types.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the change of liver sinusoid in BALB/c mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum and explore its relationship between the degree of hepatic fibrosis and liver function. Methods A model was established in BALB/c mice infected with cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum. The liver specimens of mice were used for pathological examination with routine and picric acid-sirius red staining to know the degree of hepatic fibrosis by semi-quantity. The expressions of C-IV and vWF in liver sinusoid were assayed through the immuhistochemistry staining. The serum ALT and AST were detected by the automatic biochemistry analyzer, and the ultramicrostructure of the liver tissue was observed by a transmission electron microscope. Results The number and diameter of fenestrations in SEC reduced 4 weeks after the infection. The fenestrations were disappeared and the base membrane established 8 weeks after the infection. The expressions of C-IV and vWF in liver sinusoid and the degree of hepatic fibrosis increased with the time after infection. The levels of serum ALT and AST were not correlated with the infection time. Conclusions The phenotype alteration of the hepatic sinusoidal endothelium may be a vital issue triggering the liver fibrosis induced by Schistosoma japoncium.
