The in vitro expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, HLA class I, and HLA class II on biliary epithelial cells was studied in response to tumour necrosis factor-alpha (0-500 U\/ml), interferon-gamma (0-500 U\/ml), and interleukin-1 (0-5 U\/ml) by immunohistochemical staining and a semiquantitative scoring system validated by spectrophotometry and previously validated by laser confocal microscopy. The non-stimulated expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and HLA class II was higher on cells derived from the primary biliary cirrhosis liver than on cells from normal liver, a difference not seen with HLA class I expression. A statistically significant increase in intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression was seen with all three cytokines in cells derived from both primary biliary cirrhosis and normal liver. Increase in HLA class I expression was seen only with interleukin-1 5 U\/ml for cells derived from both normal and diseased liver. Increase in HLA class II expression was seen only with interferon-gamma 500 U\/ml for cells derived from diseased liver and with interleukin-1 5 U\/ml for cells derived from both diseased and normal liver. These data show that pro-inflammatory cytokines increase expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, HLA class I, and HLA class II on human intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells in vitro and are consistent with the hypothesis that these locally acting factors may play a part in the pathogenesis of immune mediated disorders such as primary biliary cirrhosis in which immune mediated bile duct damage occurs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.34.9.1245","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]],"date-time":"2007-09-18T17:41:31Z","timestamp":1190137291000},"page":"1245-1249","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":106,"title":["Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and MHC antigens on human intrahepatic bile duct cells: effect of pro-inflammatory cytokines."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"R C","family":"Ayres","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J M","family":"Neuberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Shaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Joplin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D H","family":"Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1993,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"17","article-title":"Cellular and humoral immune reactions in chronic active liver disease.
