Immunohistochemical distribution of activated nuclear factor κB and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in carbon tetrachloride-induced chronic liver injury in rats

Abstract: We investigated the immunohistochemical distribution of active NF-kappaB p65 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subtypes alpha and gamma in the different phases of liver steatonecrosis and cirrhosis induced in rats after 3 and 9 weeks of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intoxication. CCl4 treatment can induce changes in the expression of NF-kappaB and PPARs. Immunohistochemical analysis of liver tissue sections from rats with steatonecrosis or cirrhosis demonstrated a significant increase in the … Show more

“…In the current investigation, immunohistochemical reactivity of both PPAR-α and PPAR-γ, increased in omega-3 supplemented rats compared to the only CCl 4 injected animals. Therefore, our results correlate the findings of previous studies [42,65,66] indicating CCl 4 treatment prominently reduce the expression of PPAR-γ, and that omega-3 supplementation has beneficial effects in reducing the development of degenerative changes induced by CCl 4 .…”

“…It is also known that the NFB and MAPK pathways, including p38 and JNK, participate in HSC activation [45,46,47]. Therefore, we treatment of rats, and ongoing production of proinflammatory cytokines regulated by NFB is believed to play a major role in CCl 4 -induced liver fibrosis [48,49,50]. The key feature of liver fibrosis is the increase in collagen type I synthesis.…”

“…Specifically, the complex binds to promoter regions of a large number of genes involved in the inflammatory response, such as those encoding intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), IL-1, TNF-␣, IL-6, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (18,25). NF-B binding activity was found to increase in liver macrophages and hepatocytes after CCl 4 treatment in rats (23), and ongoing production of inflammatory cytokines regulated by NF-B is believed to play a major role in CCl 4 -induced liver fibrosis (5,40).…”
