However, to date, the mechanisms for why the liver is tolerogenic and whether liver Kupffer cells (KC) are critical phagocytes for apoptotic cells (AC) contributing to the liver immunosuppression remain unclear. Here we report that KC is the main phagocyte for AC in the liver. Contact of AC inhibits proinflammatory cytokine but enhances anti-inflammatory cytokine production of KC in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Membrane-bound transforming growth factor (TGF)-\u03b2 on AC is responsible for the increased production of interleukin (IL)-10 in KC through extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation via the Smad3 pathway. Importantly, KC-derived IL-10 is critical for AC infusion-mediated protection of endotoxin-induced fulminant hepatitis through suppression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-\u03b1 and nitric oxide (NO) production from KC and consequently attenuation of KC-mediated cytolysis of hepatocytes.<\/jats:bold>\n                              <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n                                 <jats:bold>AC can be preferentially phagocytosed by KC in the liver, leading to attenuation of fulminant hepatitis through IL-10-mediated suppression of KC-derived inflammatory TNF-\u03b1 and NO production. These findings demonstrate that priming of KC by AC may contribute to maintain liver immunosuppression, providing a new mechanistic explanation for how immune homeostasis is maintained in the liver.
