Resum
IntroductionBrain death (BD) and steatosis are both risk factors for organ dysfunction or failure in liver transplantation (LT) Material and methodsHere, we examine the role of interleukin 6 (IL- 6) and IL-10 in LT of both non-steatotic and steatotic liver recovered from donors after brain death (DBDs), as well as the molecular signaling pathways underlying the effects of such cytokines. ResultsBD reduced IL-6 levels only in nonsteatotic grafts, and diminished IL-10 levels only in steatotic ones. In both graft types, BD increased IL-1 & beta;, which was associated with hepatic inflammation and damage. IL-6 administration reduced IL-1 & beta; only in non-steatotic grafts and protected them against damage and inflammation. Concordantly, IL-1 & beta; inhibition via treatment with an IL-1 receptor antagonist caused the same benefits in non-steatotic grafts. Treatment with IL-10 decreased IL-1 & beta; only in steatotic grafts and reduced injury and inflammation specifically in this graft type. Blockading the IL-1 & beta; effects also reduced damage and inflammation in steatotic grafts. Also, blockade of IL-1 & beta; action diminished hepatic cAMP in both types of livers, and this was associated with a reduction in liver injury and inflammation, then pointing to IL-1 & beta; regulating cAMP generation under LT and BD conditions. Additionally, the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the effects of interleukins was evaluated. Pharmacological inhibition of NO in LT from DBDs prompted even more evident reductions of IL-6 or IL-10 in non-steatotic and steatotic grafts, respectively. This exacerbated the already high levels of IL-1 & beta; seen in LT from DBDs, causing worse damage and inflammation in both graft types. The administration of NO donors to non-steatotic grafts potentiated the beneficial effects of endogenous NO, since it increased IL-6 levels, and reduced IL-1 & beta;, inflammation, and damage. However, treatment with NO donors in steatotic grafts did not modify IL-10 or IL-1 & beta; levels, but induced more injurious effects tan the induction of BD alone, characterized by increased nitrotyrosine, lipid peroxidation, inflammation, and hepatic damage. ConclusionOur study thus highlights the specificity of new signaling pathways in LT from DBDs: NO-IL-6-IL-1 & beta; in non-steatotic livers and NO-IL-10-IL-1 & beta; in steatotic ones. This opens up new therapeutic targets that could be useful in clinical LT.
