PG - 117 LID - 10.3389/fphys.2019.00117 [doi] LID - 117 AB - Macrophage-derived cytokines largely influence the behavior of hepatocytes during an inflammatory response. We previously reported that both TNFalpha and IL-1beta, which are released by macrophages upon LPS stimulation, affect Fas ligand (FasL)-induced apoptotic signaling. Whereas TNFalpha preincubation leads to elevated levels of caspase-3 activity and cell death, pretreatment with IL-1beta induces increased caspase-3 activity but keeps cells alive. We now report that IL-1beta and TNFalpha differentially influence NF-kappaB activity resulting in a differential upregulation of target genes, which may contribute to the distinct effects on cell viability. A reduced NF-kappaB activation model was established to further investigate the molecular mechanisms which determine the distinct cell fate decisions after IL-1beta and TNFalpha stimulation. To study this aspect in a more physiological setting, we used supernatants from LPS-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). The treatment of hepatocytes with the BMDM supernatant, which contains both IL-1beta and TNFalpha, sensitized to FasL-induced caspase-3 activation and cell death. However, when TNFalpha action was blocked by neutralizing antibodies, cell viability after stimulation with the BMDM supernatant and FasL increased as compared to single FasL stimulation. This indicates the important role of TNFalpha in the sensitization of apoptosis in hepatocytes. These results give first insights into the complex interplay between macrophages and hepatocytes which may influence life/death decisions of hepatocytes during an inflammatory reaction of the liver in response to a bacterial infection.
