Objective

Leukocytes mediate hepatocellular injury in obstructive cholestasis. The aim of the present study was to define the role of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) in cholestasis-induced leukocyte recruitment and liver damage.

Methods

C57BL/6 mice were pre-treated with an anti-PSGL-1 antibody or a control antibody prior to bile duct ligation (BDL) for 12 h. Hepatic recruitment of leukocytes and sinusoidal perfusion were determined by means of intravital fluorescence microscopy. Liver damage was monitored by measuring serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Hepatic levels of CXC chemokines were determined by ELISA.

Results

BDL caused significant hepatocellular damage indicated by increased serum activities of ALT and AST as well as decreased sinusoidal perfusion and clear-cut hepatic infiltration of leukocytes. Administration of the anti-PSGL-1 antibody reduced BDL-induced levels of ALT by 78% and AST by 77%. Inhibition of PSGL-1 decreased BDL-provoked leukocyte rolling and adhesion in post-sinusoidal venules by more than 81%. Moreover, we found that immunoneutralisation of PSGL-1 restored sinusoidal perfusion and decreased hepatic formation of CXC chemokines in cholestatic mice.

Conclusions

Our novel data show that PSGL-1 plays an important role in cholestatic liver damage by regulating leukocyte rolling in post-sinusoidal venules. Consequently, interference with PSGL-1 attenuates cholestasis-provoked leukocyte adhesion and extravasation in the liver. Thus, inhibition of PSGL-1 may help to protect against hepatocellular damage in cholestatic diseases."xsd:string
