抄録
Oxidative stress has been implicated as a cause of hepatic fibrosis, and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which are the most important collagen-producing cell types, have been reported to be activated by lipid peroxidation products. Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) provide a defense system that plays a critical role in protecting the cell from free radical damage, particularly lipid peroxidation. To elucidate the antioxidant activity of interferon-α (IFN-α), the effects of IFN-α on rat hepatocytes undergoing oxidative stress and HSCs in primary culture as well as isolated rat liver mitochondria were examined. IFN-α was observed to dose-dependently increase the immunoreactive protein levels of copper, zinc-and manganese-dependent SOD as well as the enzyme activities of GPx, and decrease the lipid peroxidation product levels and oxidative burst both in stressed hepatocytes and activated HSCs GPx activities, however, were not detected in the latter cells. IFN-α also inhibited HSC activation and lipid peroxidation in liver mitochondria. These findings suggest that IFN-α may enhance biological defense activities against oxidative stress and function as a potent fibrosuppressant by protecting hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells from lipid peroxidation in vivo.
