Abstract
The injure of the liver tissue and its infiltration by cells of the
innate and adaptive immunity in dynamics of Con A-induced
hepatitis in mice was studied. The semiquantitative method of
damage rate of microcirculation channel and liver parenchyma
was used, leukocyte liver infiltration and cellular composition
of infiltrates were investigated also. Primary liver reaction to
the Con-A was the inflammatory changes in the vascular bed,
followed by disturbances in the parenchyma.The sufficient
increasing of leukocyte migration to the liver was revealed.
Besides, the neutrophile infiltration was increased first with a
maximum at 6 hours of the experiment (63,9 ±4,6%, p<0,001
to the control level) ,and then the lymphocyte infiltration
was increased with creation of manycellular lymphocytemacrophage
infiltrates (62% at 48 hours comparing to 6
hours of experiment) and sufficient quantity of plasma cells
population (4,9%, p<0,05 comparing to 6 hours of experiment).
The obtained data gives the base to suggest that the elevated
infiltration of liver tissue by leukocytes, particularly by
lymphocytes and monocytes, together with necrotic death
increasing creats the conditions for effective intracellular
interaction and immune response to autoantigenes. This can
be the essential pathogenic mechanism of development of
autoimmune liver deseases.
