摘要
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a major complication of liver resection, trauma, and liver transplantation; however, liver repair after I/R in diseased liver has not been studied. The present study sought to determine the manner in which the fibrotic liver repairs itself after I/R. Liver fibrosis was established in mice by CCL4 administration for 6 wk, and then liver I/R was performed to investigate liver injury and subsequent liver repair in fibrotic and control livers. After I/R, fibrotic liver had more injury compared with nonfibrotic, control liver; however, fibrotic liver showed rapid resolution of liver necrosis and reconstruction of liver parenchyma. Marked accumulation of hepatic stellate cells and macrophages were observed specifically in the fibrotic septa in early reparative phase. Fibrotic liver had higher numbers of hepatic stellate cells, macrophages, and hepatic progenitor cells during liver recovery after I/R than did control liver, but hepatocyte proliferation was unchanged. Fibrotic liver also had significantly greater number of phagocytic macrophages than control liver. Clodronate liposome injection into fibrotic mice after I/R caused decreased macrophage accumulation and delay of liver recovery. Conversely, CSF1-Fc injection into normal mice after I/R resulted in increased macrophage accumulation and concomitant decrease in necrotic tissue during liver recovery. In conclusion, fibrotic liver clears necrotic areas and restores normal parenchyma faster than normal liver after I/R. This beneficial response appears to be directly related to the increased numbers of nonparenchymal cells, particularly phagocytic macrophages, in the fibrotic liver. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study is the first to reveal how diseased liver recovers after ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Although it was not completely unexpected that fibrotic liver had increased hepatic injury after I/R, a novel finding was that fibrotic liver had accelerated recovery and repair compared with normal liver. Enhanced repair after I/R in fibrotic liver was associated with increased expansion of phagocytic macrophages, hepatic stellate cells, and progenitor cells.
