Calpains have been found to be involved in apoptosis of many cell systems. This study is designed with the aim of evaluating the possible effect of Z-LLY-FMK (a calpain inhibitor) on hepatocyte apoptosis after bile duct ligation in rat. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to five groups. Group 1 (C) underwent sham operation. Group 2 (CDMSO) underwent Sham operation and simultaneous treatment with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Group 3 (OB) underwent common bile duct ligation. Group 4 (OBZLLY) underwent common bile duct ligation and simultaneous treatment with Z-LLY-FMK. Group 5 (OBZFA) underwent common bile duct ligation and simultaneous treatment with ZFA-FMK. After 3 days, liver tissue was harvested for histopathologic analysis and apoptosis measurements. RESULTS: When compared with sham operation groups, increased hepatocyte apoptosis (P < 0.001) and ductular proliferation (P < 0.001) occurred after common bile duct ligation. Following administration of Z-LLY-FMK, the increased hepatocyte apoptosis and ductular proliferation after common bile duct ligation were significantly diminished (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001). Moreover, administration of ZFA failed to show the same phenomenon (P = 0.9 and 0.987). CONCLUSION: Significantly increased hepatocyte apoptosis and ductular proliferation occurred after common bile duct ligation. The administration of Z-LLY-FMK could effectively diminish the hepatocyte apoptosis and ductular proliferation after common bile duct ligation, whereas the administration of ZFA-FMK failed to show the same effect. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=19137 ------>authors2=Ho HT ------>authors3=Hung KS ------>authors4=Eng HL ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Sheen-Chen SM ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Z-LLY-FMK can attenuate hepatocyte apoptosis after bile duct ligation in rat. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no=11 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2008 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=11 |
