Background Ischemic injury of the liver is generally considered to result in necrosis, but it has recently been recognized that mediators of apoptosis are activated during ischemia/reperfusion. This study was designed to characterize the extent and the type of cells within the liver that undergo apoptosis at different periods of ischemia and reperfusion,Methods. Male Wistar rats were subjected to 30 or 60 min of normothermic ischemia, Liver sections were evaluated at the end of ischemia and at 1, 6, 24, and 72 hr after reperfusion, Apoptosis was determined by DNA fragmentation as evaluated by laddering on gel electrophoresis, in situ staining for apoptotic cells using TdT-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick-end labeling (TUNEL), and morphology on electron microscopy,Results. In situ staining of liver biopsy specimens using TUNEL showed significant apoptosis after reperfusion, Sinusoidal endothelial cells (SEC) showed evidence of apoptosis earlier than hepatocytes, For example, at 1 hr of reperfusion after 60 min of ischemia, 22+/-4% of the SEC stained TUNEL positive compared with 2+/-1% of the hepatocytes (P
