The interaction of 125I-labelled tissue-type plasminogen activator (125I-t-PA) with freshly isolated rat parenchymal and endothelial liver cells was studied. Binding experiments at 4 degrees C with parenchymal cells and endothelial liver cells indicated the presence of 68,000 and 44,000 high-affinity t-PA-binding sites, with an apparent Kd of 3.5 and 4 nM respectively. Association of 125I-t-PA with parenchymal cells was Ca(2+)-dependent and was not influenced by asialofetuin, a known ligand for the galactose receptor. Association of 125I-t-PA with liver endothelial cells was Ca(2+)-dependent and mannose-specific, since ovalbumin (a mannose-terminated glycoprotein) inhibited the cell association of t-PA. Association of 125I-t-PA with liver endothelial cells was inhibited by anti-(human mannose receptor) antiserum. Anti-(galactose receptor) IgG had no effect on 125I-t-PA association with either cell type. Degradation of 125I-t-PA at 37 degrees C by both cell types was inhibited by chloroquine or NH4Cl, indicating that t-PA is degraded lysosomally. in vitro experiments with three monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) demonstrated that anti-t-PA MAb 1-3-1 specifically decreased association of 125I-t-PA with the endothelial cells, and anti-t-PA Mab 7-8-4 inhibited association with the parenchymal cells. Results of competition experiments in rats in vivo with these antibodies were in agreement with findings in vitro. Both antibodies decreased the liver uptake of 125I-t-PA, while a combination of the two antibodies was even more effective in reducing the liver association of 125I-t-PA and increasing its plasma half-life. We conclude from these data that clearance of t-PA by the liver is regulated by at least two pathways, one on parenchymal cells (not galactose/mannose-mediated) and another on liver endothelial cells (mediated by a mannose receptor). Results with the MAbs imply that two distinct sites on the t-PA molecule are involved in binding to parenchymal cells and liver endothelial cells.

Background/Aims: Oxidants are important human toxicants. They have been implicated in the occurrence and development of liver diseases. Increased intracellular tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP) may be critical for oxidant toxicity, and is commonly used for evaluating mechanisms involving oxidative stress, but the method remains controversial. Methods: Primary cultures of hepatocytes as well as human Hep G2 and mouse FL83B liver cells were obtained. Cell viability was measured by annexin V–FITC/propidium iodide and DAPI staining to determine the effects of t-BHP treatment on acute liver injury. A proteomic assay provided information that was used to identify the differentially expressed proteins following t-BHP treatment; immunohistochemistry and western blotting were performed to detect the expression of PDIA6 activity in apoptotic and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways. Results: Our results demonstrate that t-BHP treatment of liver cells increased cell cytotoxicity and the generation of reactive oxygen species. This treatment also increased the level of PDIA6; this was validated in vitro and in vivo based on a comparison of t-BHP-treated and -untreated groups. Treatment of mouse liver FL83B cells with t-BHP activated caspase 3, increased the expression of apoptotic molecules, caused cytochrome c release, and induced Bcl-2, Bax and IRE1α/TRAF2 complex formation. t-BHP-dependent induction of apoptosis was accompanied by sustained phosphorylation of the IRE1α/ASK1/JNK1/2/p38 pathways and PDIA6 expression. Furthermore, t-BHP induced liver FL83B cell viability and apoptosis by upregulating the levels of PDIA6; this process could be involved in the activation of the IRE1α/ASK1/JNK1/2/p38 signalling pathways. Conclusions: We conclude that t-BHP induced an apoptosis cascade and ER stress in hepatocytes by upregulation of PDIA6, providing a new mechanism underlying the effects of t-BHP on liver injury.
