Methods After Balb/c mice wereinjected intraperitoneally with SEB, D- GalN or both, blood samples were collected and livers were removed at 2,6, 12, 24h. Patterns of hepatocellular death were studied morphologically and biochemically, circulating cytokines(TNF, IFN-γ) were determined, and mice mortality within 24h was assessed. Results SEB could induce thetypical apoptotic changes of hepatocytes morphologically and biochemically. The mechanism is probably associatedwith the production and release of Cytokines (such as TNF, IFN- γ, etc).D - GalN could induce hepatocytesapoptosis and degeneration at the same time. Besides this, we confirmed hepatocytes of the mice which wereadministered SEB and D - GalN developing apoptosis at 2, 6h, but after 12h hepatocytes were characterized bysevere injury, the mice mortality within 24h is 50%. Conclusion SEB or D - GalN alone could induce the typicalapoptotic changes of hepatocytes. SEB+D-GalN developed hepatocytes apoptosis in the early stage and necrosisin the later. It suggests that there is some relationship between hepatic cell apoptosis and necrosis, and massivehepatocyte apoptosis is the probably initiating step of acute hepatic necrosis in mice.展开更多
