  • Acute pancreas induced by tissue factor expression which regulated by Toll-like receptor 4 pathway in Kupffer cell

    Objective To verify tissue factor (TF)-bearing microparticle (TF-MP) could be released from Kupffer cells (KCs) stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and TF controlled by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) could induce acute pancreatitis. Methods After the acute pancreatitis model completed, the wild type C57/BL6 mouse (WT group) and the TLR4-/- mouse (TLR4-/- group) received intraperitioneal injections of 10 mg/kg LPS. The degree of pathological lesion and the TF expression were detected in the pancreas tissue. The TF and TLR4 protein and mRNA expressions in the KCs were detected at 6, 12, and 24 h after the last injection of LPS. The survival rates were campared in these estabilshed acute pancreatitis model mice. The TF and TLR4 protein and mRNA expressions in the KCs stimulated with LPS (300 μg/L) were also detected at 0, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min. The TF and TF-MP levels were detected in the supernatants of the KCs at these time point. Results The injury of the pancreas in the TLR4-/- group was slighter than that in the WT group. The TF proteins in the liver and pancreas tissues of the TLR4-/- group were significantly lower than those of the WT group (P<0.05). The survival rate of the TLR4-/- group was significantly higher than that of the WT group under the situation of the acute pancreatitis (P<0.05). The TLR4 and TF protien and mRNA expressions of the KCs were significantly decreased in the TLR4-/- group as compared with the WT group at 30, 60, and 120 min (P<0.05). The levels of TF and TF-MP in the supernatant of the TLR4-/- group were significantly lower than those of the WT group at 30, 60, and 120 min (P<0.05). Conclusion Acute pancretitis can be induced by TF and TF-MP expressions in KCs which could be regulated by TLR4 pathway.
