Abstract: We studied and quantified the effect of ischemia-reperfusion on hepatic F-actin on bile canalicular and basolateral membranes in human liver allografts by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging. The phalloidin-FITC staining of F-actin was normal in liver hepatocytes before reperfusion but decreased significantly after reperfusion (by 25% of controls). These results indicate that hepatic F-actin alteration is produced during the reperfusion phase. This modification, probably induced by reactive oxy… Show more

“…In contrast to CPF animals, cytoskeleton reorganization appears to be taking place wherein cytoskeletal genes are decreasing (Figure 3). This finding is concordant with previous reports of cytoskeleton destabilization following reperfusion [30].…”

“…Structural alterations of the cytoskeleton following ischemia reperfusion have been reported to cause disturbances of intracellular transport processes and cell motility and microcirculation leading to organ dysfunction [ 29 32 ]. In liver cells, F-actin is a relevant component of liver cytoskeleton which forms microfilaments involved in intracellular transport processes, such as exocytosis and endocytosis, maintenance of cell shape, and canalicular motility responsible for bile flow [ 25 , 31 , 33 , 34 ]. In this context, we have explored whether PEG 35 pretreatment could maintain the cytoskeleton structure and preserve the morphological characteristics of hepatocytes.…”

“…One of the mechanisms of liver transplantation failure is ischemia-reperfusion type of injury to the transplanted liver. Evidence indicates that ischemia-reperfusion induces alteration in bile canalicular F-actin microfilaments in hepatocytes 94 . Ischemia-reperfusion generates reactive oxygen species, the factors that are likely involved in tight junction disruption and bile duct injury in the transplanted liver.…”
