We previously reported the efficacy of D2O containing solution (Dsol) in the cold preservation of rat hearts. Here, we evaluated whether Dsol reduced hepatic cold preservation and reperfusion injury. Methods: Rat livers were subjected to 48-hour cold storage in University of Wisconsin (UW) solution or Dsol, and subsequently reperfused on an isolated perfused rat liver. Graft function, injury, perfusion kinetics, oxidative stress, and cytoskeletal integrity were assessed. Results: In the UW group, severe ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) was shown by histopathology, higher liver enzymes leakage, portal resistance, and apoptotic index, oxygen consumption, less bile production, energy charge, and reduced glutathione (GSH)\/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio (versus control). The Dsol group showed that these injuries were significantly ameliorated (versus the UW group). Furthermore, cytoskeletal derangement was progressed in the UW group, as shown by less degradation of \u03b1-Fodrin and by the inactivation of the actin depolymerization pathway, whereas these changes were significantly suppressed in the Dsol group. Conclusion: Dsol reduced hepatic IRI after extended cold preservation and subsequent reperfusion. The protection was primarily due to the maintenance of mitochondrial function, cytoskeletal integrity, leading to limiting oxidative stress, apoptosis, and necrosis pathways.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm8111818","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,1]],"date-time":"2019-11-01T12:30:50Z","timestamp":1572611450000},"page":"1818","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Heavy Water (D2O) Containing Preservation Solution Reduces Hepatic Cold Preservation and Reperfusion Injury in an Isolated Perfused Rat Liver (IPRL) Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5187-6753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shingo","family":"Shimada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Gastroenterological Surgery I; Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine; Kita15-Nishi7, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8593-2258","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moto","family":"Fukai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Surgery, Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine; Kita15-Nishi7, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kengo","family":"Shibata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Gastroenterological Surgery I; Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine; Kita15-Nishi7, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sodai","family":"Sakamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Gastroenterological Surgery I; Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine; Kita15-Nishi7, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Wakayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Gastroenterological Surgery I; Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine; Kita15-Nishi7, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takahisa","family":"Ishikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Gastroenterological Surgery I; Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine; Kita15-Nishi7, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Norio","family":"Kawamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Surgery, Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine; Kita15-Nishi7, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Fujiyoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Gastroenterological Surgery I; Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine; Kita15-Nishi7, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsuyoshi","family":"Shimamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Clinical Facilities, Division of Organ Transplantation, Hokkaido University Hospital; Kita14-Nishi5, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akinobu","family":"Taketomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Gastroenterological Surgery I; Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine; Kita15-Nishi7, Kita-Ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-8638, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"156","DOI":"10.1111\/liv.12443","article-title":"Donor information based prediction of early allograft dysfunction and outcome in liver transplantation","volume":"35","author":"Hoyer","year":"2015","journal-title":"Liver Int."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"409","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0b013e3182a15db4","article-title":"The evolution of liver transplantation during 3 decades: Analysis of 5347 consecutive liver transplants at a single center","volume":"258","author":"Agopian","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ann.
