Four anticalmodulin drugs: trifluoperazine (TFP), pimozide (PMZ), thioridazine (TDZ) and imipramine (IMP) (50 mg/kg, ip) were able to partially prevent Galactosamine (GAL) (600 mg/kg, ip) induced liver necrosis when given 6 h after the hepatotoxin. IMP was also effective 10 h after GAL. The
The administration of galactosamine to rats produces dose-dependent liver cell injury. A relatively low dose of galactosamine (200 mg/kg) causes a marked fall in UTP with an accompanying inhibition of RNA and protein synthesis. Uridine will reverse the UTP deficiency and the inhibition of RNA and
1. An injection of D-galactosamine (GalN) into mice together with a lipopolysaccharide (LPS or endotoxin), interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumour necrosis factor (TNF), sensitized the mice and induced fulminant hepatitis with severe congestion resulting in rapid death. Since LPS and these cytokines induce
Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) administration to rats, was effective in partially preventing liver necrosis induced by thioacetamide, dimethylnitrosamine or galactosamine, when given 6 hr after the hepatotoxins. In the case of galactosamine but not of the other necrogenic chemicals, protection
Eighteen and twenty-four hours after intraperitoneal administration of D-galactosamine (1g/kg body weight) to rats, the activity of caspase-3-like protease in the liver increased significantly compared with that in the control group given saline. Histological examinations including the in situ
OBJECTIVE
To clarify the mechanism of hepatocyte apoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), caspase cascade and ceramide formation were investigated in the liver of D-galactosamine (GalN)-sensitized mice treated with TNF-alpha.
METHODS
Seven-week-old male BALB/c mice were
Oral pretreatment with E3330, a novel quinone derivative, attenuated liver injury induced with tumor necrosis factor-alpha in galactosamine-sensitized mice. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is known to induce inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes and prostanoids. An in vitro study showed that E3330
Intravenous administration of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) (0.5 microg/mouse) caused hepatocyte apoptosis in BALB/c mice when they were sensitized with D-galactosamine (GalN, 20 mg/mouse). Activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) and expression of apoptotic Bcl-2 family members
Galactosamine (GalN) is a hepatotoxic agent, which under determined situations provokes metabolic and energetic depletion as well as alterations in permeability, leading to cellular death. At the same time, it is known that fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) helps maintain cell energy levels and
BACKGROUND
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) reduces cell death in experimental and clinical liver dysfunction.
OBJECTIVE
Whether PGE1 protects against D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-associated hepatocyte cell death by the regulation of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and/or nitric oxide (NO) in
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha-induced neutral sphingomyelinase-mediated generation of ceramide, a bioactive lipid molecule, is transduced by the adaptor protein FAN, which binds to the intracellular region of the CD120a TNFalpha receptor. FAN-deficient mice do not exhibit any gross abnormality.
1. D-Galactosamine (GalN) depletes UTP primarily in the liver, resulting in decreased RNA synthesis in hepatocytes. Co-injection of GalN and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into mice produces fulminant hepatitis with severe hepatic congestion, resulting in rapid death. Although the underlying mechanism is
OBJECTIVE
Proinflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) play a critical role in the pathogenesis of liver injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) in D-galactosamine (GalN)-sensitized mice. The aim
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to determine the action mode of cornel iridoid glycoside (CIG) from Fructus corni on hepatoprotective activities, the effects of CIG on human hepatocyte cell line (L02) injured by D-galactosamine (GalN) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were examined.
METHODS
The percentage
Application of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in combination with galactosamine (GalN) in mice causes severe apoptosis of hepatocytes, resulting in complete destruction of the liver. Administration of high levels of unconjugated bilirubin and abnormally high production of unconjugated bilirubin have
