Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Liver inflammation is a common extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, whether liver involvement is a consequence of a primary intestinal defect or results from alternative pathogenic processes remains unclear. Therefore, we sought to determine the potential pathogenic mechanism(s) of concomitant liver inflammation in an established murine model of IBD.

METHODS: Liver inflammation and immune cell subsets were characterized in ileitis-prone SAMP1/YitFc (SAMP) and AKR/J (AKR) control mice, lymphocyte-depleted SAMP (SAMPx

RESULTS: Surprisingly, prominent inflammation was detected in 4-wk-old SAMP livers, prior to histologic evidence of ileitis, while both disease phenotypes were absent in age-matched AKRs. SAMP liver disease was characterized by abundant infiltration of lymphocytes, required for hepatic inflammation to occur, a Th1-skewed environment, and phenotypically-activated CD4

CONCLUSIONS: Activated intrahepatic CD4

Keywords: IBD-associated liver inflammation; SAMP1/YitFc mice; hepatic CD4+ T-cells; liver sinusoidal endothelial cells; regulatory T-cells
