Proteome analysis of hepatic non-parenchymal cells of immune liver fibrosis rats

Abstract: Elucidation of the mechanisms of liver fibrogenesis is important to treat liver fibrosis. In this study, we established rat models of liver fibrosis with stages from 0-1, 2, and 3-4 to 4 at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, respectively, by injection of pig serum. Liver fibrogenesis was detected by Masson's trichrome staining. Rat non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) were enriched 4-fold by Percoll density gradient centrifugation. Protein extracts from NPCs were prepared at 4 and 8 weeks, separated by two-dimensional electrophore… Show more

“…Until now, it has been discovered several possible anti-viral roles of Kupffer cells, including binding and/or uptake of virus inducing immune recognition and the production of pro-inflammatory factors resulting in inhibition of viral replication in hepatocytes, activation of neighboring cells, and attraction, activation, and interaction with other immune cells, which will further increase the anti-viral and inflammatory response. These immune activating roles of Kupffer cells are beneficial to combat viruse infection in the early stage after infection, but may also contribute to tissue damage and the development of fibrosis and cirrhosis during chronic viral hepatitis (Zhao et al, 2014). Furthermore, Kupffer cells also have immune regulatory functions, either through direct virus-Kupffer cells interaction, or as a component of the complex tolerogenic liver environment.…”

“…According to previously published protocols [ 15 , 16 ], hepatic non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) were obtained from liver tissues by collagenase type IV digestion (0.05 mg/mL) and gradient centrifugation. In brief, liver tissues were infused with perfusion buffer for up to 20 min then perfused with collagenase until digested.…”

“…The upper supernatant was discarded and the remaining sediment washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) at 1,500 x g for 5 min; the deposit was then resuspended in fresh PBS. Subsequently, density gradient centrifugation was performed using Percoll (Biodee Biotechnology, Beijing, China) to isolate the cells as previously described (18,19) with slight modifications. The cell suspension was processed using a 60 and 40% Percoll gradient (1:1:1 volume ratio) at 3,000 x g for 30 min at room temperature.…”
