ABSTRACT

Accumulating evidence implicates tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and Fas systems in liver injury, although the interaction between these two systems remains to be investigated. In this study, we examined Propionibacterium acnes-primed TNF receptor p55-deficient (TNFRp55-/-) or Fas-deficient MRL/MpJ Lpr/Lpr mice challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Priming with P. acnes caused mononuclear cell infiltration into the hepatic lobules and granuloma formation in the livers of TNFRp55 wild-type mice. Subsequent LPS challenge caused massive liver injury and a marked increase in transaminase levels, leading to acute lethality in control wild-type mice. In contrast, the same treatment caused few pathological changes in livers of TNFRp55-/- mice, and all animals survived. P. acnes and subsequent LPS challenge induced granuloma formation and apoptotic changes, respectively, in livers of MRL/MpJ Lpr/Lpr mice. However, liver injury was 50% of that in control MRL/MpJ +/+ mice, suggesting some role of the Fas-Fas ligand system in this liver injury model. On the other hand, an agonistic anti-Fas antibody caused massive apoptosis and hemorrhagic changes of the liver without any priming with P. acnes, leading to death in both TNFRp55-/- and control wild-type mice. These results suggest that TNFRp55 but not Fas was involved in P. acnes-induced granuloma formation as well as subsequent LPS-induced liver injury and that TNFRp55 and Fas independently induced apoptosis of hepatocytes in vivo.
