          Abstract

          PURPOSE: To investigate whether a third generation colloid, hydroxyethyl starch (HES 130/0.4), used for perioperative fluid therapy, protects the rat liver against the late-phase response of ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and if inhibition of neutrophil hepatic infiltration plays a part in this mechanism. METHODS: Wistar rats were used (8 in each group). Three groups had IRI induced by lobar vascular occlusion (60 minutes) and reperfusion (24 hours) and received HES (13 mL/kg iv), 7.5% saline (HS) (13 mL/kg iv) or no fluid. Three other groups were sham-operated and received the same fluid as the test groups. After 24 hours of reperfusion, blood was drawn for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) quantification and ischemic liver samples were taken for histological study (hematoxylin and eosin and chloroacetate staining of neutrophils). RESULTS: HES treatment attenuated the elevation in serum ALT (P=0.001) and reduced the extent of hepatocellular necrosis (P<0.01) compared with the IRI controls. HES-mediated cytoprotection was associated with a decrease of infiltration of neutrophils in the necrotic areas (P<0.05) compared with the untreated IRI rats, but not with the volume control IRI rats (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Hydroxyethyl starch suppresses inflammatory response and ameliorates the late-phase response of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury.

          OBJETIVO: Investigar se um colóide de terceira geração (HES 130/0.4), utilizado para fluidoterapia perioperatória, protege o fígado de rato contra a resposta da fase tardia de isquemia/reperfusão e se a inibição da infiltração hepática de neutrófilos desempenha um papel neste mecanismo. MÉTODOS: Foram utilizados ratos Wistar (8 em cada grupo). Três grupos tiveram lesão de isquemia/reperfusão (IRI) induzida por oclusão vascular lobar (60 minutos) e reperfusão (24 horas) e receberam HES (13 ml / kg iv), soro fisiológico a 7,5% (HS) (13 ml / kg iv) ou nenhum fluido. Três outros grupos foram sham-operados e receberam o mesmo tipo de fluido dos grupos de teste. Após 24 horas de reperfusão, o sangue foi retirado para quantificação da alanina aminotransferase (ALT) e amostras de fígado isquêmico foram retiradas para estudo histológico (hematoxilina e eosina e coloração cloroacetato para neutrófilos). RESULTADOS: O tratamento com HES atenuou a elevação da ALT sérica (P = 0,001) e reduziu a extensão da necrose hepatocelular (P<0,01) em comparação com os controles da IRI. A citoproteção mediada por HES foi associada a uma diminuição da infiltração de neutrófilos nas áreas de necrose (P<0,05) em comparação com os ratos não tratados IRI, mas não com os ratos controlo IRI (P> 0,05). CONCLUSÃO: HES suprime a resposta inflamatória e melhora a resposta na fase tardia da isquemia/reperfusão hepática.

          Mechanisms of Liver Injury. II. Mechanisms of neutrophil-induced liver cell injury during hepatic ischemia-reperfusion and other acute inflammatory conditions.

          Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are a vital part of the innate immune response to microbial infections and tissue trauma, e.g., ischemia-reperfusion injury, in many organs including the liver. However, an excessive inflammatory response can lead to a dramatic aggravation of the existing injury. To design interventions, which selectively target the detrimental effects of neutrophils, a detailed understanding of the pathophysiology is critical. Systemic or local exposure to proinflammatory mediators causes activation and priming of neutrophils for reactive oxygen formation and recruits them into the vascular beds of the liver without causing tissue injury. However, generation of a chemotactic signal from the parenchyma will trigger extravasation and an attack on target cells (e.g., hepatocytes). Adhesion to the target induces degranulation with release of proteases and formation of reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid, which can diffuse into hepatocytes and induce an intracellular oxidant stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Various neutrophil-derived proteases are involved in transmigration and cell toxicity but can also promote the inflammatory response by processing of proinflammatory mediators. In addition, necrotic cells release mediators, e.g., high-mobility group box-1, which further promotes neutrophilic hepatitis and tissue damage. On the basis of these evolving insights into the mechanisms of neutrophil-mediated liver damage, the most selective strategies appear not to interfere with the cytotoxic potential of neutrophils, but rather strengthen the target cells' defense mechanisms including enhancement of the intracellular antioxidant defense systems, activation of cell survival pathways, or initiation of cell cycle activation and regeneration.

            The hepatic microcirculation: mechanistic contributions and therapeutic targets in liver injury and repair.

            The complex functions of the liver in biosynthesis, metabolism, clearance, and host defense are tightly dependent on an adequate microcirculation. To guarantee hepatic homeostasis, this requires not only a sufficient nutritive perfusion and oxygen supply, but also a balanced vasomotor control and an appropriate cell-cell communication. Deteriorations of the hepatic homeostasis, as observed in ischemia/reperfusion, cold preservation and transplantation, septic organ failure, and hepatic resection-induced hyperperfusion, are associated with a high morbidity and mortality. During the last two decades, experimental studies have demonstrated that microcirculatory disorders are determinants for organ failure in these disease states. Disorders include 1) a dysregulation of the vasomotor control with a deterioration of the endothelin-nitric oxide balance, an arterial and sinusoidal constriction, and a shutdown of the microcirculation as well as 2) an overwhelming inflammatory response with microvascular leukocyte accumulation, platelet adherence, and Kupffer cell activation. Within the sequelae of events, proinflammatory mediators, such as reactive oxygen species and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, are the key players, causing the microvascular dysfunction and perfusion failure. This review covers the morphological and functional characterization of the hepatic microcirculation, the mechanistic contributions in surgical disease states, and the therapeutic targets to attenuate tissue injury and organ dysfunction. It also indicates future directions to translate the knowledge achieved from experimental studies into clinical practice. By this, the use of the recently introduced techniques to monitor the hepatic microcirculation in humans, such as near-infrared spectroscopy or orthogonal polarized spectral imaging, may allow an early initiation of treatment, which should benefit the final outcome of these critically ill patients.

              Hydroxyethyl starch inhibits neutrophil adhesion and transendothelial migration.

              A resuscitation strategy that significantly alters the state of neutrophil (PMN) activation may impact organ function and survivability after shock. Various resuscitative fluids have been shown to elicit a severe immune activation and an upregulation of cellular injury markers, whereas other fluids have been shown to be protective. Recent studies have demonstrated that hydroxyethyl starch (HES), an artificial colloid, may exert significant anti-inflammatory effects, whereas conflicting studies with the same substance have shown an increase in PMN activation. Successful manipulation of the early immune events associated with hemorrhage and resuscitation will require a better understanding of the possible pro- or anti-inflammatory effects of resuscitation fluids. Our study investigated the effect of HES directly on PMN and cultured vascular endothelial cells in vitro. The effect of HES on PMN surface expression of CD11b and L-selectin was measured by flow cytometry. PMN activation response to HES was measured using a shape-change assay in response to formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (f-MLP). The effect of HES on endothelial cell surface expression of E-selectin, P-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1), and intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay. PMN rolling, adhesion, and migration events were measured using direct microscopy under conditions simulating microvascular flow. PMN surface expression of CD11b and L-selectin in whole blood samples and isolated PMNs were unaffected by exposure to HES. HES had no effect on the normal f-MLP dose-dependent increase in PMN activation. In the absence of IL-1 stimulation, there was a small but statistically significant (P < 0.05) increase in ICAM-1 after exposure to HES. After stimulation with IL-1 (10 U/mL), HES had no effect on the expression of P-selectin, E-selectin, ICAM-1, or VCAM-1. Under simulated microvascular flow conditions in vitro, HES significantly diminished the PMN tethering rate (P < 0.05) and the transendothelial migration rate (P < 0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. HES significantly alters the function of the PMN at the interface of the PMN responding to activated endothelium. The effect occurs, surprisingly, without a coincident effect on the state of PMN activation or a significant change in the surface expression of the adhesion molecules responsible for PMN-endothelial interaction.
