Cathepsin B Knockout Mice Are Resistant to Tumor Necrosis Factor-{alpha}-Mediated Hepatocyte Apoptosis and Liver Injury

Implications for Therapeutic Applications

Tumor necrosis factor-{alpha} (TNF-{alpha}) contributes to liver injury by inducing hepatocyte apoptosis. Recent evidence suggests that cathepsin B (cat B) contributes to TNF-{alpha}-induced apoptosis in vitro. The aim of the present study was to determine whether cat B contributes to TNF-{alpha}-induced hepatocyte apoptosis and liver injury in vivo. Cat B knockout (catB-/-) and wild-type (catB+/+) mice were first infected with the adenovirus Ad5I{kappa}B expressing the I{kappa}B superrepressor to inhibit nuclear factor-{kappa}B-induced survival signals and then treated with murine recombinant TNF-{alpha}. Massive hepatocyte apoptosis with mitochondrial release of cytochrome c and activation of caspases 9 and 3 was detected in catB+/+ mice 2 hours after the injection of TNF-{alpha}. In contrast, significantly less hepatocyte apoptosis and no detectable release of cytochrome c or caspase activation occurred in the livers of catB-/- mice. By 4 hours after TNF-{alpha} injection, only 20% of the catB+/+ mice were alive as compared to 85% of catB-/- mice. Pharmacological inhibition of cat B in catB+/+ mice with L-3-trans-(propylcarbamoyl)oxirane-2-carbonyl-L-isoleucyl-L-proline (CA-074 Me) also reduced TNF-{alpha}-induced liver damage. The present data demonstrate that a cat B-mitochondrial apoptotic pathway plays a pivotal role in TNF-{alpha}-induced hepatocyte apoptosis and liver injury.
