| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We artificially inserted S100A8 cDNA to the pCXGFP vector and then injected the resultant plasmid to embryonic stem (ES) cells of rats, and conclusively succeeded in having a S100A8 transgenic rat (Tg-S100A8). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was intraperitoneally administrated in wild-type rats and Tg-S100A8, so that acute liver damage has been induced in the liver tissue of WT-rats, where many macrophages have been also accumulated. While, acute liver damage in Tg-S100A8 was not almost observed, and immune cells were scattered in the liver tissue. These facts suggest that S100A8 could serve as an anti-inflammatory protein in Tg-S100A8. We are attempting to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for negatively regulating acute liver damage by LPS in Tg-S100A8.
