Abstract

Fulminant hepatitis (FH) is an acute clinical disease with a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. The purpose of this study was to determine the protective effect of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor TAK-242 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced explosive hepatitis and explore in vivo and in vitro mechanisms. Mice were pretreated with TAK-242 for 3 h prior to LPS (10 μg/kg)/D-GalN (250 mg/kg) administration. Compared to the LPS/D-GalN group, the TAK-242 pretreatment group showed significantly prolonged survival, reduced serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels, relieved oxidative stress, and reduced inflammatory interleukin (IL)-6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels. In addition, TAK-242 increased the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Next, mice were treated with an anti-Gr-1 antibody to deplete MDSCs, and adoptive transfer experiments w ere performed. We found that TAK-242 protected against FH by regulating MDSCs. In the in vitro studies, TAK-242 regulated the accumulation of MDSCs and promoted the release of immunosuppressive inflammatory cytokines. In addition, TAK-242 inhibited protein expression of nuclear factor-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. In summary, TAK-242 had a hepatoprotective effect against LPS/D-GalN-induced explosive hepatitis in mice. Its protective effect may be involved in suppressing inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, and increasing the proportion of MDSCs.
