The role of complement activation in D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide-induced acute hepatic necrosis of rat / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the important role of the activation of complement system on the experimental hepatic necrosis.Methods:The complement activation of classic pathway was evaluated by detecting sexum CH50.The local hepatic deposition of C3 in rat hepatic necxosis was detected by immunohistochemical technique.Results:Compared with the controlled,serum CH50 decreased on different degree in all the administrated groups alone with prolonged observing time-page.Submassive hepatic necrosis was observed in Ga1N/LPS treated rats in H-E sections,and SP.Stainning showed the local hepatic deposition of C3 existed limited to the kupffer cells,the membrane,hepatocyte and the necrotic hepatocyte zone.GaIN caused gentle liver tissue injury,namly monocyie infiltration,hepatocyte balloon degeneration and focus necrosis,but none of deposition of C3 was observed.LPS caused the same changes as that by Ga1N,but the local hepatic deposition of C3 was limited to the endothelial cells and kupffer cells.Conclusion:The activation of complement in serum,especially the local hepatic activation of complement,play an important role in Ga1N/LPS-induced acute hepatic necrosis of rat.Extra-LPS may cause the activation of complement system the in classic activation of C3.Pathway of rat,but the hepatic injury may probably be related to the local hepatic deposion.Ga1N induced hepatic injury may has no direct relationship to the complement activation in serum.
