  abstract  = {In a subset of patients, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is complicated by cell death and inflammation resulting in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which may progress to fibrosis and subsequent organ failure. Apart from cytokines, prostaglandins, in particular prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)), play a pivotal role during inflammatory processes. Expression of the key enzymes of PGE(2) synthesis, cyclooxygenase 2 and microsomal PGE synthase 1 (mPGES-1), was increased in human NASH livers in comparison to controls and correlated with the NASH activity score. Both enzymes were also induced in NASH-diet-fed wild-type mice, resulting in an increase in hepatic PGE(2) concentration that was completely abrogated in mPGES-1-deficient mice. PGE(2) is known to inhibit TNF-alpha synthesis in macrophages. A strong infiltration of monocyte-derived macrophages was observed in NASH-diet-fed mice, which was accompanied with an increase in hepatic TNF-alpha expression. Due to the impaired PGE(2) production, TNF-alpha expression increased much more in livers of mPGES-1-deficient mice or in the peritoneal macrophages of these mice. The increased levels of TNF-alpha resulted in an enhanced IL-1 beta production, primarily in hepatocytes, and augmented hepatocyte apoptosis. In conclusion, attenuation of PGE(2) production by mPGES-1 ablation enhanced the TNF-alpha-triggered inflammatory response and hepatocyte apoptosis in diet-induced NASH.},

  abstract  = {Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are hepatic manifestations of the metabolic syndrome. Many currently used animal models of NAFLD/NASH lack clinical features of either NASH or metabolic syndrome such as hepatic inflammation and fibrosis (e.g., high-fat diets) or overweight and insulin resistance (e.g., methionine-choline-deficient diets), or they are based on monogenetic defects (e.g., ob/ob mice). In the current study, a Western-type diet containing soybean oil with high n-6-PUFA and 0.75\% cholesterol (SOD + Cho) induced steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis accompanied by hepatic lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in livers of C57BL/6-mice, which in addition showed increased weight gain and insulin resistance, thus displaying a phenotype closely resembling all clinical features of NASH in patients with metabolic syndrome. In striking contrast, a soybean oil-containing Western-type diet without cholesterol (SOD) induced only mild steatosis but not hepatic inflammation, fibrosis, weight gain or insulin resistance. Another high-fat diet, mainly consisting of lard and supplemented with fructose in drinking water (LAD + Fru), resulted in more prominent weight gain, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis than SOD + Cho, but livers were devoid of inflammation and fibrosis. Although both LAD + Fru-and SOD + Cho-fed animals had high plasma cholesterol, liver cholesterol was elevated only in SOD + Cho animals. Cholesterol induced expression of chemotactic and inflammatory cytokines in cultured Kupffer cells and rendered hepatocytes more susceptible to apoptosis. In summary, dietary cholesterol in the SOD + Cho diet may trigger hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. SOD + Cho-fed animals may be a useful disease model displaying many clinical features of patients with the metabolic syndrome and NASH.},

  title     = {Rolle von mPGES1-abh{\"a}ngig gebildetem Prostaglandin E2 bei der Ausbildung von Insulinresistenz und nicht-alkoholischer Fettlebererkrankung durch die Modulation der Funktion von Lebermakrophagen},

  abstract  = {Eine St{\"o}rung des Leberstoffwechsels durch die Ausbildung einer Insulinresistenz kann zu Folgeerkrankungen wie der nicht alkoholischen Fettlebererkrankung (NAFLD) bis hin zur Steatohepatitis (NASH) und zur Entwicklung eines Diabetes Typ II f{\"u}hren. Am Krankheitsverlauf sind residente (Kupfferzellen) sowie infiltrierende Makrophagen beteiligt, die durch inflammatorische Stimuli aktiviert werden und zur Progression von Lebererkrankungen f{\"u}hren k{\"o}nnen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die Rolle von mPGES1-abh{\"a}ngig gebildetem Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) an der Modulation von aktivierten Lebermakrophagen untersucht. Dazu wurden Kupfferzellen und Peritonealmakrophagen (als Modell f{\"u}r infiltrierende Makrophagen) aus Wildtyp und mPGES1-defizienten M{\"a}usen isoliert. Beide Makrophagen­populationen wurden in Zellkulturversuchen mit Lipopolysacchariden (LPS) aktiviert und auf ihre PGE2-Synthese, Genexpression und Sekretion von verschiedenen Cytokinen hin untersucht. Die beiden Makrophagenpopulationen unterschieden sich hinsichtlich der PGE2-Synthese bei mPGSE1-Defizienz. W{\"a}hrend bei Peritonealmakrophagen die LPS-abh{\"a}ngige PGE2-Synthese bei Abwesenheit der mPGES1 fast vollst{\"a}ndig reprimiert war, war bei Kupfferzellen nur eine 25\%ige Abnahme zu verzeichnen. Die postulierte selbstverst{\"a}rkende R{\"u}ckkopplungsschleife von PGE2 im Hinblick auf seine eigene Synthese konnte in isolierten Peritonealmakrophagen, nicht jedoch in Kupfferzellen, best{\"a}tigt werden. In Kupfferzellen f{\"u}hrte exogenes PGE2 ferner zu einer Repression von den pro-inflammatorischen Cytokinen TNFα und IL-1β und f{\"u}r endogenes PGE2 konnte in diesem Zelltyp kein Effekt festgestellt werden. In Peritonealmakrophagen konnte hingegen auch f{\"u}r endogenes PGE2 eine reprimierende Wirkung auf die Expression von TNFα beobachtet werden. Das ist eventuell auf eine h{\"o}here Sensitivit{\"a}t gegen{\"u}ber PGE2 von Peritonealmakrophagen im Vergleich zu Kupfferzellen zur{\"u}ckzuf{\"u}hren. PGE2 wirkte unter den gew{\"a}hlten Versuchsbedingungen in vitro somit eher anti-inflammatorisch. Cholesterolkristalle induzierten in Kupfferzellen die Expression der PGE2-synthetisierenden Enzyme und verschiedener pro-inflammatorische Cytokine. Sie k{\"o}nnten somit zu einer Progression von NAFL zu NASH beitragen. Die Daten aus dieser Arbeit deuten darauf hin, dass PGE2 im Rahmen von entz{\"u}ndlichen Leberver{\"a}nderungen eine eher protektive Wirkung im Hinblick auf die Progression von NAFLD und Insulinresistenz haben k{\"o}nnte.},

  abstract  = {Most in vitro test systems for the assessment of toxicity are based on endpoint measurements and cannot contribute much to the establishment of mechanistic models, which are crucially important for further progress in this field. Hence, in recent years, much effort has been put into the development of methods that generate kinetic data. Real time measurements of the metabolic activity of cells based on the use of oxygen sensitive microsensor beads have been shown to provide access to the mode of action of compounds in hepatocytes. However, for fully exploiting this approach a detailed knowledge of the microenvironment of the cells is required. In this work, we investigate the cellular behaviour of three types of hepatocytes, HepG2 cells, HepG2-3A4 cells and primary mouse hepatocytes, towards their exposure to acetaminophen when the availability of oxygen for the cell is systematically varied. We show that the relative emergence of two modes of action, one NAPQI dependent and the other one transient and NAPQI independent, scale with expression level of CYP3A4. The transient cellular response associated to mitochondrial respiration is used to characterise the influence of the initial oxygen concentration in the wells before exposure to acetaminophen on the cell behaviour. A simple model is presented to describe the behaviour of the cells in this scenario. It demonstrates the level of control over the role of oxygen supply in these experiments. This is crucial for establishing this approach into a reliable and powerful method for the assessment of toxicity.},
