Cultured Human Liver Fat-Storing Cells Produce Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1. Regulation by Proinflammatory Cytokines
Open accessAbstract
Monocytes infiltrate the portal space during chronic liver inflammation. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) is a cytokine that induces monocyte chemotaxis and activation. We investigated if human liver fat-storing cells (FSC) secrete MCP-1, and the mechanisms that regulate MCP-1 production. Unstimulated FSC secrete MCP-1 as measured by radioimmunoassay as well as a chemotactic assay and express mRNA that encodes for this cytokine. A two- to threefold increase in MCP-1 secretion was observed when FSC were treated with either interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) or interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) also increased MCP-1 secretion, although to a lesser extent (1.6-fold). Northern blot analysis showed that IL-1 alpha and IFN-gamma strongly increase the levels of mRNA that encodes for MCP-1, whereas TNF alpha appears to be a weaker stimulus. Analysis of FSC-conditioned medium by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting revealed three bands of MCP-1 that most likely represent isoforms of different apparent molecular weights. Pretreatment of FSC with H-7, a protein kinase C inhibitor, blocked cytokine-induced increase in both MCP-1 gene expression and secretion. To determine the potential role of MCP-1 in vivo, we also analyzed normal and pathologic human liver tissue. Northern blot analysis showed that MCP-1 mRNA expression is more abundant in liver tissue obtained from patients with chronic active hepatitis compared with normal liver tissue. These studies indicate that MCP-1 secreted by FSC is stimulated by proinflammatory cytokines and that MCP-1 gene expression is upregulated in chronic inflammatory liver disease. MCP-1 released by FSC may participate in the recruitment and activation of monocytes at sites of liver injury.

Activated HSCs recruit immune cells by secreting chemokines including MCP-1, IL-8, RANTES, CCR5, and SDF-1/CXCL-12 and express adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 that promote infiltration of leukocytes and macrophages.
“Activated HSCs recruit immune cells by secreting numerous chemokines including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) (34), IL-8 (35), RANTES and CCR5 (36), and SDF-1/CXCL-12 (37) and express adhesion molecules, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, that promote the infiltration of leukocytes and macrophages (38, 39).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
