The objective of this study was to
define the relationship among Kupffer cells, O
expression in the pathophysiology of
postischemic liver injury following short and long periods of
ischemia. Using different forms of superoxide dismutase with
varying circulating half-lives, a monoclonal antibody directed against
mouse TNF-
, and NADPH oxidase-deficient mice, we found that 45 or 90 min of partial (70%) liver ischemia and 6 h of
reperfusion (I/R) produced time-dependent increases in liver injury and
TNF-
expression in the absence of neutrophil infiltration.
Furthermore, we observed that hepatocellular injury induced by short
periods of ischemia were not dependent on formation of TNF-
but were dependent on Kupffer cells and NADPH oxidase-independent
production of O

expression. We conclude that the sources for
O
in the pathophysiology of I/R-induced hepatocellular injury differ
depending on the duration of ischemia.
