Immune-mediated liver injury is a major cause of many liver diseases. Activation of Kupffer cells by toxic agents results in the release of an array of inflammatory mediators, which plays a crucial role in liver injury. ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA) have significant immunomodulatory effects. However, the regulation mechanism of the protective effect of ω-3 PUFA on immune-mediated liver injury is unclear. This research will use mouse model of D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide (GalN/LPS)-induced liver injury. The protective effects of ω-3 PUFA on Kupffer cell-mediated liver injury will be investigated. Furthermore, in vitro, we will investigate the effect of ω-3 PUFA on cytokines released by Kupffer cells and the apoptosis or proliferation of Kupffer cell. In addition, we will investigate molecular mechanisms of protective effect of ω-3 PUFA on NF-κB, MAPK and JAK-STAT signal transduction pathway in the activation of Kupffer cells. This study will not only provide new theoretical mechanism of inflammatory immunomodulation of ω-3 PUFA, but also provide scientific basis and effective therapeutic strategies for prevention of immune-mediated liver injury.
免疫反应导致的肝损伤是许多肝脏疾病发病的重要因素,毒性物质激活Kupffer细胞释放大量的炎症介质在肝损伤中起至关重要的作用。ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸(ω-3 PUFA)具有显著的免疫调节作用,但ω-3 PUFA保护免疫介导肝损伤的具体分子调控机制尚不清楚。本课题拟采用半乳糖胺/脂多糖(GalN/LPS)肝损伤小鼠模型,研究ω-3 PUFA对Kupffer细胞介导的肝损伤的保护作用;进一步通过体外实验系统地研究ω-3 PUFA对Kupffer细胞的细胞因子的释放及其对凋亡或增殖的影响;此外,通过研究ω-3 PUFA对Kupffer细胞介导的NF-κB、MAPK和JAK-STAT信号转导通路的影响来深入了解其作用的分子机制。本研究不仅为ω-3 PUFA的抗炎免疫调节提供新的理论机制,而且为免疫介导的肝损伤的有效防治提供科学的理论依据和安全有效的治疗策略。
