【Abstract】Objective  To observe the synthesis of TLR2 protein and its mRNA expression in Kupffer cells (KCs) and sinusoidal endothelial cells(SECs).
Methods  Thirty-two BALB/c mice divided into two groups (operation group and false operation group) were used to prepare the model of partial hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. After injury KCs and SECs were isolated with twosteps situ perfusion technique. And these cells were dyed by rat anti-mouse TLR2 IgG and anti-rat IgG2b labeled with flurescein isothiocyanate (FITC). The sysnthesis of TLR2 protein were determined by flow cytometric (FCM) analysis and real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (Real-Time RT-PCR) analysis for gene expression.
Results  As for KCs: TLR2 expression was significant higher in operation group, compared with false operation group 〔protein expression: (9.19±1.07)% vs (1.52±0.21)%, P<0.01; gene expression: 0.54±0.77 vs 2.62±2.19, P<0.05〕. But there were no significant differences with expression in SECs.
Conclusion  Synthesis of TLR2 protein and its gene expression increased in KCs in the mouse partial hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury.
