AbstractBackground. The molecular mechanism of small-forsize graft injury remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the gene expression pattern of acute phase response in relation to graft size in a rat-liver transplantation model. Methods. A rat orthotopic liver transplantation model using 30%, 50%, and whole grafts was used. The graft survival rates and liver morphology were compared among the three groups. Two transcription factors, nuclear factor (NF)-κB (p65) and early growth response (Egr-1), and their downstream genes were compared. Results. According to the graft size, the rats were grouped as follows: group 1 (n=20), 32% (24-47%); group 2 (n=10), 56% (50-65%); and group 3 (n=10), 104% (89-120%). The 7-day survival rates were 20% (P=0.039 vs. group 2, P=0.000 vs. group 3), 60%, and 100% in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Dilation of hepatic sinusoids and vacuolization of hepatocytes were observed in group 1. Up-regulation of Egr-1 and endothelin (ET)-1 and over-expression of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was found in group 1, but heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and A20 were down-regulated. At 24 hours after reperfusion, the intragraft protein level of heat-shock protein (Hsp)-70 was significantly lower in group 1 than that in group 3 (12.4 vs. 17.0 ng/mL, P=0.04). More apoptotic nuclei were found in group 1. Conclusions. Small-for-size graft injury was related to early over-expression of Egr-1 associated with upregulation of ET-1 and deterioration of intracellular homeostasis reflected by down-regulation of Hsps and A20.
