Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute liver injury (SALI), a manifestation of sepsis multi-organ dysfunction syndrome, is associated with poor prognosis and high mortality. The diversity and plasticity of liver macrophage subpopulations explain their different functional responses in different liver diseases. Kupffer macrophages, liver capsular macrophages, and monocyte-derived macrophages are involved in pathogen recognition and clearance and in the regulation of inflammatory responses, exacerbating the progression of SALI through different pathways of pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy. Concurrently, they play an important role in maintaining hepatic homeostasis and in the injury and repair processes of SALI. Other macrophages are recruited to diseased tissues under pathological conditions and are polarized into various phenotypes (mainly M1 and M2 types) under the influence of signaling molecules, transcription factors, and metabolic reprogramming, thereby exerting different roles and functions. This review provides an overview of the immune role of macrophages in SALI and discusses the multiple roles of macrophages in liver injury and repair to provide a reference for future studies.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
