SummaryExperimental chronic non-suppurative destructive cholangitis induced in rabbits following immunization with bile duct antigen.Histological changes similar to chronic non-suppurative destructive cholangitis were induced in rabbits by sensitization with antigen prepared from bovine gallbladder mucous membrane. The occurrence of these pathological changes was significantly higher in female animals than in males: 11 out of 14 female rabbits and 4 among 11 male rabbits exhibited histological changes. Immunoprecipitation using gel-diffusion and histological analysis by an immunofluorescence technique showed that this antigen was localized exclusively in the bile duct but not in either hepatocytes or other tissues. It is suggested that histological changes induced following immunization with bile duct antigen are specific immunological phenomena. This interesting experimental model may be helpful in explaining the pathogenesis of primary biliary cirrhosis.

急性肝内胆汁うっ滞を誘導するリンホカイン,催胆汁うっ滞因子(cholestatic factor, CF)の胆汁形成抑制の機序をしらべるために,胆汁形成を調節するとされる肝細胞内細胞骨格のmicrotubules (Mt)-microfilaments (Mf)系に及ぼすCFの影響について検討した.コルヒチン(Mt inhibitor)を単独でラットに静注しても総胆管からの胆汁排泄は抑制されなかった.しかし,コルヒチンとCF (Mf inhibitor)の両者投与群では,CF単独投与の時にみられる胆汁流量の減少よりさらに高度の胆汁排泄の抑制を認めた.すなわち,コルヒチンとCFは,相加的ではなく相乗的に胆汁排泄を抑制することが示された.以上の結果は,胆汁形成にはMt とMfの協調作用が必要であり,胆汁分泌機構において“microtubular microfilamentous system”が存在するという仮説を支持するとともに,CFが“microtubular microfilamentous system”を障害して肝内胆汁うっ滞を誘導する可能性が示唆された.

健常ヒトおよびルポイド肝炎患者の末梢血から単核細胞を分離してpokeweed mitogen(PWM)で刺激すると,trinitrophenyl化したヒツジ赤血球(TNP-SRBC)に対する抗体産生が誘導されたが,抗体産生細胞の誘導には両者の間に有意差を認めなかった.健常ヒトの末梢血単核細胞をPWMで刺激する際に,同時にエストロゲン(E)を添加すると,1×10-8~1×10-6mg/mlの添加によって抗体産生が増強され,5×10-7mg/mlの添加でその増強は最大であった.これに反して,ルポイド肝炎患者の場合は比較的高濃度のE(1×10-5mg/ml)の添加で抗体産生が最高に増強され,健常ヒトの場合とEに対する応答に差異が認められた.この差異がどの細胞populationの応答能の変化によるか検討すると,リンパ球と単球の両者の応答の低下が認められた.以上の結果から,ルポイド肝炎においてはEに対する反応性が健常ヒトと異なることが示唆された.

SummaryThe isolated liver cells coated with the anti-liver cell membrane antibody were damaged by incubation with the peripheral blood mononuclear cells. This was demonstrated by measuring the reduction of protein synthesis in the target liver cells. Adherent cells from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells were shown to have a sufficient capacity acting on the isolated liver cells as an effector when they were separated from the peripheral blood of normal and patients with acute or chronic active hepatitis. However, those from patients with liver cirrhosis or hepatoma did not show such effector activity in antibody-dependent cell-mediated liver cell damage. These results suggest that possibly antibody-dependent macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity may play some role in the induction of liver cell injury because the anti-hepatocyte membrane antibody is frequently detected in patient’s sera, especially in those with chronic active hepatitis.

薬物アレルギー性肝炎における肝内胆汁うっ滞の発生機序を免疫学的に解明するため,本症患者の末梢血リンパ球をin vitroで起因薬物およびcarrier蛋白質とともに48時間培養し,その培養上清(lymphokines)をラットの腸間膜静脈に注入した.その結果,胆汁排泄量の著明な減少が観察され,胆汁中の胆汁酸排泄も減少を示した.また,肝の電顕像では毛細胆管の拡張,microvilliの減少または消失などの像が観察され,既報の犬の実験系と同じく,ラットにも急性肝内胆汁うっ滞を誘導せしめた.1部の症例の培養上清をSephadex G-100のゲル濾過で分画すると5つの分画に分けられたが,胆汁うっ滞を起こす因子は第4分画に含まれており,この分画はにはMIF活性が認められた.以上の成績は,薬物アレルギー性肝障害患者の感作リンパ球が起因薬物によって刺激されると,lymphokinesが産生され,その中に含まれる因子が胆汁うっ滞を誘起する可能性が示唆される.
