Possible changes in expression of chemotaxin LECT2 mRNA in mouse liver after concanavalin A-induced hepatic injury.
The functions of leukocyte-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2), a novel liver-specific protein, are not well defined, especially after hepatic injury. The changes in expression of LECT2 mRNA were investigated after concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatic injury in mice. Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (s-GPT) activity and the percentage of liver DNA fragmentation, an indicator of hepatic apoptosi...
متن کاملProtective effect of interleukin-36 receptor antagonist on liver injury induced by concanavalin A in mice
Objective(s): Interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra) is a new member of the IL-1 family that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in a variety of inflammatory and immune diseases. Our purpose was to determine the effect of IL-36Ra on liver injury in a mouse hepatitis model induced by concanavalin A (ConA). Materials and Methods: Mic...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis in chronic liver injury induced by repeatedly administered concanavalin A.
Liver fibrosis is commonly observed in chronic liver disease. However, the immunological mechanisms underlying hepatic fibrosis due to chronic inflammation are not well defined, mainly because suitable experimental models have not been established. We have found that weekly i.v. administration of concanavalin A (Con A) in BALB/c mice brought about a striking alanine aminotransferase increase, r...
متن کاملInduction of hepatic Bach1 mRNA expression by carbon tetrachloride-induced acute liver injury in rats
Hepatic oxidative stress is a major contributor to the pathogenesis of several acute liver diseases. Diagnostic markers of hepatic oxidative stress may facilitate early detection and intervention. Bach1 is an oxidative stress-responsive transcription factor that represses heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), the rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of heme, a potent pro-oxidant. We previously demonstrate...
متن کاملIncreased serum leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) levels in obesity and fatty liver.
Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) is a signaling molecule expressed in the liver and regulated by Wnt/β-catenin pathways implicated in hepatic metabolism. However, the clinical relevance of LECT2 in obesity and fatty liver is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine whether serum LECT2 levels are affected by of obesity and fatty liver. A cross sectional study comprising 2...
