Abstract

Type V secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-V) is a key enzyme in the arachidonate cascade. However, the distribution of sPLA2-V in human liver has not yet been investigated. In this study, the significance of sPLA2-V expression in human hepatocytes damaged by liver disease was investigated. Samples of liver tissue from patients with chronic hepatitis B and C, hepatitis virus-related liver cirrhosis, and congestive hepatocyte injury were immunostained with antibodies against sPLA2-V, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, hepatitis viral antigens, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, interleukin (IL)-1beta and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. In chronic hepatitis patients, sPLA2-V-positive hepatocytes were scattered in the liver lobules, while cyclooxygenase-2, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha were diffusely expressed. Hepatocytes around necroinflammatory lesions were strongly positive for sPLA2-V. Some sPLA2-V-positive hepatocytes were also positive for viral antigens. TGF-beta1 was expressed only in fibrotic lesions. The pattern of distribution of these proteins in liver cirrhosis patients was similar to that in chronic hepatitis patients, but sPLA2-V expression tended to be more intense than in chronic hepatitis. In the congestive liver, sPLA2-V,...Continue Reading
