Abstract: Objective To explore the dynamic changes ofinflam matory cytokines,chem okines and Toll-like receptors (TLR)in acetaminophen(APAP)-induced liver injury within 24 hours. Methods C57BL/6 mice were rando mly divided into six groups:control group,APAP1h group,APAP3h group,APAP6h group,APAP12h group and APAP24h group,including 5 mice in each group. After fasting for 15 hours,control group were given 0.9%saline by intraperitoneal injection,w hile other groups were given 300 Mg/kg APAP. Assessment of the various inflam matory cytokines,chem okines and TLRin mice liver was carried out at MRNAlevel by realtime poly merase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Degrees of APAP-induced liver injury were evaluated by haematoxylin eosin(HE)staining. Results According to HEstaining result,APAP-induced liver injury in APAPgroups increasingly aggravated within 24 hours w hen compared with that in control group.In APAPgroups,RT-PCRindicated that MRNAlevels of IL-6,IL-10,IL-1βand IP-10 rose to various degrees at different time points,w hile MIP-3α MRNAlevels declined distinctly(P<0.05),which was in contrast to control group. Additionally,variation ofinterferon(IFN)-γ and tu Mor necrosis factor(TNF)-α had no statistical difference between APAPand control groups.In APAPgroups,levels of CXCR-2 and CCR-2 were obviously lower at 24h(P<0.05)than those in control group,w hile level of CXCL-2 rose to 14.8 and 7.8 times higher at 12h and 24h(P<0.05),respectively. Furtherm ore,levels of TLR-9 and TLR-4 changed to various extents at different time points(P<0.05). Conclusion APAPfor 300 Mg/kg induces mice liver injury within 24h,which makes inflam matory cytokines,chem okines and TLRchange obviously at MRNAlevels in mice liver.
