Oxidative Stress and Liver Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury

  • Chapter

Abstract

Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious complication that compromises liver function because of extensive hepatocellular loss, which impacts diverse clinical settings such as liver surgery and liver transplantation. The mechanisms responsible for hepatic I/R injury are not well understood despite the identification of several intercellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the hepatocellular cell death, with a predominant role for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Oxygen is a vital element to sustain life but its partial reduction generates toxic ROS that participate in liver I/R damage. Mitochondria are one of the main sources of ROS production in the cell, and current data point that mitochondrial dysfunction mediates hepatic I/R damage. In liver transplantation or in hepatic resections ischemia followed by reperfusion is accompanied by an increase in ROS generation leading to liver injury. The contribution of hepatic lipid composition, particularly lipid composition of mitochondrial membranes determine the increased ROS generation during hepatic I/R due to compromised mitochondrial antioxidant defenses. Accumulating evidence from clinical and experimental observations indicates that steatotic grafts in liver transplantation increase reperfusion injury and liver transplant failure. In this chapter we will review recent data on the interplay between mitochondria, ROS generation, and antioxidant defense in liver damage after I/R, and provide evidence that mitochondrial cholesterol accumulation stands as an important player in liver I/R damage, thus emerging as a novel target for intervention.
