Objectives. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a key factor that contributes to early and late dysfunction of liver graft. Although we have known that hepatocytes express death receptors for tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), the effects of TRAIL on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-mediated apoptosis are unclear. This study sought to examine the effects of H/R on TRAIL cytotoxicity, as a cause of primary hepatic graft dysfunction, delayed graft refunction, and chronic graft dysfunction.Methods. Using an hepatocyte H/R model in vitro to mimic IRI in the grafted liver, normal human hepatocytes HL-7702 were exposed to hypoxia for 5 hours then reoxygenated for 0, 2, 4, 6, or 20 hours. In another experiment, hepatocytes were exposed to hypoxia for 0, 2, 4, 8, or 20 hours. Expressions of TRAIL-R2/Death receptor 5 (DR5) mRNA were measured by semiquantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reactions. After 16 hours of hypoxia, human hepatocytes were treated with TRAIL in different concentrations for 5 hours. The death of hepatocytes was confirmed by flow cytometer and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium analysis.Result. After 5-hour hypoxia, the expressions of DR5 mRNA increased at all times of reoxygeriation. DR5 mRNA was up-regulated from 0 hour after reoxygenation, reaching a peak value at 2 hours after reoxygenation compared with the normoxia cultured cells. Moreover, DR5 mRNA was up-regulated gradually following prolonged hypoxia. TRAIL-mediated cell killing was concentration-dependent being greater in the hypoxia treatment group compared to the normoxia group.Conclusions. H/R up-regulated the expression of DR5 and enhanced TRAIL-mediated apoptosis in an human hepatocyte line. The TRAIL pathway might play a critical role hepatocyte apoptosis induced by IRI.
