Research Abstract

Backaround: We tried to establish a newly animal autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) model by using the fusion cell of hepatocyte and dendritic cell (DC) to investigate the immimopathogenesis of AIH.
Methoth: DC were generated by 5-days culture of bone marrow cells of C57BL/6 female mice with IL-4 and GM-CSF and fusion with well differentiated hepatoma cell Hepal-6 (H-2Db) were carried out in the presence of 50% PEG. Fusion cells were injected to C57BL/6 mice twice a month subcutaneously followed by peritoneal injection of IL-12 (500ng/body) three times a week. Splenocytes were extracted after final IL-12 injection and cultured with IL-2 (50 μg/ml) for 4 days. cytotoxicity of splenocytes against Hepal-6 was analyzed using 4hr 51Cr release assay. As a control, splenocytes obtamed from non treated, IL-12 treated, fusion cells treated mice were studied.
Results: Splenocytes extracted from fusion cell treated mice showed Hepa 1-6 specific cytotoxicity (51% cytolysis, E/T ratio80: 1), but not against … More NK cell sensitive Yac-1 cell. T cell population, which were separated using mierobeades and MACS magnetic separation system, of splenocytes obtained from fusion cell treated mice showed Hepa 1-6 specific cytotoxicity (41% cytolysis, EIT ratio=80: 1). But non T cell population did not show cytotoxicity Interestingly, splenocytes extracted from fusion cell and IL-12 treated mice did not show Hepa 1-6 specific cytotoxicity. Splenocytes extracted from non-treated mice nor IL- 12 treated mice didn t show cytotoxicity either. Immuno-histochemical analysis revealed that intrahepatic T cell infiltration was observed in fusion cell and IL-12 treated mice, but not in fusion cell treated mice.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that immunization with fusion cells of dendritic cell and Hepa 1-6 may evoke cytotoxic T cell which recoginize the epitope that is shared between Hepa 1-6 and hepatocyte in vivo, but it is not enough to induce hepatocyte injury. IL-12 may participate in the mechanisms of intrahepatic CTL infiltration and hepatocyte injury in this model. Less
