Ischaemia and reperfusion injury of rat liver increases expression of glutathione S-transferase A1/A2 in zone 3 of the hepatic lobule
Effects of ischaemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) of liver on expression of rat glutathione S-transferase (rGST) isoenzymes that metabolize products of oxidative stress were examined. Rats underwent lobar liver ischaemia for 30 min followed by reperfusion. In ischaemic lobes, rGSTA1/A2 transcript levels...

Zusammenfassung: | Effects of ischaemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) of liver on expression of rat glutathione S-transferase (rGST) isoenzymes that metabolize products of oxidative stress were examined. Rats underwent lobar liver ischaemia for 30 min followed by reperfusion. In ischaemic lobes, rGSTA1/A2 transcript levels increased significantly 12 h after I/R (2.94-fold) and protein levels increased significantly at 24 h (1.45-fold); increased transcript levels were also observed in nonischaemic lobes (1.78-fold). Superoxide dismutase prevented I/R and the increases in transcript and protein levels in ischaemic and non-ischaemic lobes. By in-situ hybridization, increases in transcript levels at 6 h were present in zones 2 and 3 of the ischaemic lobes and peaked at 12 h (2.5-fold zone 2, 4.5-fold zone 3). Significant increases in transcript levels also were observed at 24 h in zones 2 (2.0-fold) and 3 (2.9-fold) of non-ischaemic lobes. Nuclear run-off assays showed a 1.8-fold increase in rGSTA1/A2 transcription rates in ischaemic lobes at 3 h. We conclude that I/R causes increased rGSTA1/A2 expression in the zone of the hepatic lobule most susceptible to oxidative injury and that this expression may be an important defence against injury. |
