Abstract
The liver is frequently challenged by toxins and reactive oxygen species. Therefore, hepatocytes require cytoprotective strategies to cope with these insults. Since the transcription factors Nrf2 and NF-κB regulate the cellular antioxidant defense system and important survival pathways, we determined their individual and overlapping functions in the liver. We generated mice lacking Nrf2 and the NF-κB RelA/p65 subunit in hepatocytes and we analyzed their liver by using histopathology, immunohistochemistry, quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot and Oxyblot analysis. Human inflammatory hepatocellular adenomas (iHCA) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Loss of either Nrf2 or NF-κB/RelA had only a minor effect on liver homeostasis, but the double knockout mice spontaneously developed liver inflammation and fibrosis. Upon aging, more than one-third of the female double mutant mice developed tumors, which histologically resemble human iHCA, a tumor that predominantly occurs in women. The mouse tumors also recapitulated the immunohistochemical marker profile characteristic for human iHCA. Moreover, pNRF2 and NF-κB RelA/p65 was not detectable in the nuclei of iHCA tumor cells. The mouse phenotype was not due to a synergistic effect of bo...Continue Reading
