Increase in prostanoid formation in rat liver macrophages (Kupffer cells) by human anaphylatoxin C3a

Abstract: Human anaphylatoxin C3a increases glycogenolysis in perfused rat liver. This action is inhibited by prostanoid synthesis inhibitors and prostanoid antagonists. Because prostanoids but not anaphylatoxin C3a can increase glycogenolysis in hepatocytes, it has been proposed that prostanoid formation in nonparenchymal cells represents an important step in the C3a-dependent increase in hepatic glycogenolysis. This study shows that (a) human anaphylatoxin C3a (0.1 to 10 pg/ml) dose-dependently increased prostaglandin… Show more

“…They cause increased vascular permeability, upregulate adhesion molecule expression on endothelial cells and neutrophils, and attract and activate these phagocytes. Furthermore, they activate basophilic granulocytes and mast cells: these cells release a variety of vasoactive compounds (such as histamine), facilitating the invasion of phagocytes (116,223,280,370,434,457,521,550).…”

“…14 C3a modulates Kupffer cell prostaglandin synthesis and C5a induces secretion of C-X-C chemokines from alveolar macrophages. 15,16 Furthermore, upregulation of anaphylotoxin receptors in the liver and lung has been observed in other systemic proinflammatory states such as sepsis. 17 The current study examined whether complement is the initial trigger of the NF-kB-mediated inflammation that follows large-volume hepatic cryoablation.…”

“…Neben Cytokinen spielen auch Prostanoide eine Rolle bei der Modulation der Akutphase-Antwort und hepatischer Funktionen während einer Entzündung. Sie werden von Nichtparenchymzellen als Antwort auf eine große Anzahl entzündlicher Stimuli wie LPS (Kuiper et al 1988), Zymosan (Dieter et al 1989), Anaphylatoxine (Hespeling et al 1995;Püschel et al 1993) und proinflammatorische Cytokine wie TNFα freigesetzt. Die freigesetzten Prostanoide modulieren Funktionen von Hepatocyten in parakriner Weise: Sie beeinflussen die glucogene Aktivität der Hepatocyten durch die Regulation von Enzymaktivitäten (Püschel et al 1993a;Casteleijn et al 1988;Brass und Garrity 1985;Bronstad und Christoffersen 1981), durch die Kontrolle der Expressionsspiegel von glucogenen Schlüsselenzymen (Püschel und Christ 1994) und indirekt auch durch eine Modulation des sinusoidalen Blutflusses (Schieferdecker et al 1999).…”

Für die LPS-stimulierte Freisetzung von TNFα ist eine autokrine Rückkopplungsschleife beschrieben (Reinstein et al 1994;): Hepatocyten diese Rezeptoren unter normalen Bedingungen sowohl funktionell als auch auf mRNA-Ebene fehlen (Fennekohl et al 1999;Püschel et al 1993).…”
