Immune function of nonparenchymal liver cells.

چکیده
The liver is the human body largest digestive and metabolic organ, and a very important immune organ. This paper discusses the location and morphology of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells, dendritic cells, hepatic stellate cells, and Kupffer cells in the liver and their role in regulating immune functions. Therefore, here we provide a preliminary understanding of the immune regulatory function of liver cells, and information on the occurrence and treatment of liver diseases.

Natural antitumor defense system of the murine liver.
Murine nonparenchymal liver cells from various genetic strains isolated by collagenase digestion and differential sedimentation contain both lymphocytes and macrophages. Nonparenchymal liver cells as well as spleen cells, mononuclear blood cells, and peritoneal exudate cells from C3HeB/FeJ mice were tested for natural cytotoxicity against YAC-1 (sensitive to NK cells) and P815 (resistant to NK ...
متن کاملMaturation State and Function of Monocyte Derived Dendritic Cells in Liver Transplant Recipients
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen presenting cells for triggering of the immune reaction post transplantation. These cells are centrally involved in the initiation of T cell-dependent immune responses. Objective: To compare the level of DC maturation and function in liver transplant recipients with healthy controls. Methods: In this study, twelve peripheral blood samples we...
متن کاملPathogenesis of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: Interactions between Liver Parenchymal and Nonparenchymal Cells
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common type of chronic liver disease in the Western countries, affecting up to 25% of the general population and becoming a major health concern in both adults and children. NAFLD encompasses the entire spectrum of fatty liver disease in individuals without significant alcohol consumption, ranging from nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) to nonal...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Distribution of Transferrin Receptors on Parenchymal and Nonparenchymal Liver Cells
To investigate which cells of the liver express the receptor for transferrin. isolated rat liver cells produced by collagenase perfusion were fractionated by repeated differential centrifugation to produce hepatocytes (95% + 1 %. mean ± SD, n 4) and nonparenchymal cells (97% + 1 %, n = 3). Saturable. high-affinity binding of ‘2 l-transferrin was demonstrated on intact cells at 4 #{176}C. with a...
متن کاملEffect of cell-cell interactions in preservation of cellular phenotype: cocultivation of hepatocytes and nonparenchymal cells.
Heterotypic cell interaction between parenchymal cells and nonparenchymal neighbors has been reported to modulate cell growth, migration, and/or differentiation. In both the developing and adult liver, cell-cell interactions are imperative for coordinated organ function. In vitro, cocultivation of hepatocytes and nonparenchymal cells has been used to preserve and modulate the hepatocyte phenoty...
