Abstract: Objective To investigate the role of Glt25d1 in concanavalin A (Con A) induced autoimmune
hepatitis, and its effects on macrophages and neutrophils in this progression. Methods The specific pathogen
free Glt25d1 +/- mice and wild type (WT) mice born in the same litter were randomly selected, the mice were
all female and 6~8 weeks, the body mass were (20 ± 2) g. The mice were divided into WT control group,
Glt25d1 +/- control group, WT Con A administration group and Glt25d1 +/- Con A administration group, 8
mice in each group. Mice in administered group were given Con A via the internal iliac venous plexus with
a dose of 10 mg/kg body mass, while mice in control group were injected with the same dose of saline. Mice
were sacrificed after Con A challenged for 12 h. The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate
aminotransferase (AST) were detected and the liver histopathology were observed. Flow cytometry were used
to detect the percentage of macrophages and neutrophils in blood, spleen and liver single-cell suspension of
mice. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-mediated PCR (qRT-PCR) were used to detect the relative expression
of monocyte/macrophage chemotaxis protein Ⅰ (MCP-Ⅰ)、macrophage inflammatory protein Ⅰα (MIP-
Ⅰα)、macrophage inflammatory protein Ⅱ (MIP-Ⅱ) and lymphocyte antigen 6 complex locus G (Ly6G)
mRNA. Results There were no statistically significant differences of ALT [ (52.00 ± 18.19) U/L vs (45.00 ±
6.85) U/L ] and AST [ (52.00 ± 18.19) U/L vs (45.00 ± 6.85) U/L ] in mice between WT control group and
Glt25d1 +/- control group (t = 0.360, 1.255, P = 0.7263, 0.2589). After Con A administrated for 12 h, the ALT
and AST levels of mice in WT Con A administration group were (3089.67 ± 663.92) U/L and (3099.50 ±
519.15) U/L, respectively, and in Glt25d1 +/- Con A administration group were (11565.17 ± 1381.38) U/L and
(10875.17 ± 1558.68) U/L, respectively, the levels of ALT and AST were significantly higher than those in
control group (all P < 0.05). In addition, the ALT and AST levels of Glt25d1 +/- Con A administration group
were significantly increased compared with those in WT Con A administration group (t = 5.530, 4.733; P =
0.0003, 0.0032). HE staining showed that there was no significant liver injury of mice in both of WT control
group and Glt25d1 +/- control group. After Con A administrated for 12 h, compared with mice of WT Con
A administration group, liver pathological section of mice in Glt25d1 +/- Con A administration group had
wider area of necrosis and showed more significant infiltration of inflammatory cells in the portal area. The
percentage of macrophage in spleen of mice in Glt25d1 +/- control group were significantly higher than that in
WT control group [(5.04 ± 0.32)% vs (3.48 ± 0.31)%], the difference was statistically significant (t = 2.954, P = 0.0131).
There were no statistically significant differences of macrophage percentage in peripheral blood [(0.26 ± 0.09)%
vs (0.63 ± 0.16)%] and liver [(1.58 ± 0.11)% vs (2.83 ± 0.43)%] between Glt25d1 +/- control group and WT control
group (t = 1.456, 1.626; P = 0.1733, 0.1351). After Con A administrated for 12 h, in comparison with WT Con
A administration group, the percentage of macrophage in Glt25d1 +/- Con A administration group decreased
significantly in peripheral blood [(0.12 ± 0.21)% vs (0.43 ± 0.10)%; t = 2.955, P = 0.0144] and increased in
liver [(8.34 ± 0.30)% vs (1.03 ± 0.53)%; t = 6.992, P = 0.0002], and there was no significant difference in
spleen [(3.98 ± 0.39)% vs (3.82 ± 0.21)%; t = 0.372, P = 0.7173]. Compared with WT control group, the
percentage of neutrophil of spleen in Glt25d1 +/- control group increased significantly [(5.20 ± 0.76)%
vs (2.46 ± 0.35)%; t = 3.836, P = 0.0028], while there were no significant differences in peripheral blood [(0.67 ±
0.26)% vs (1.96 ± 0.77)%] and liver [(3.68 ± 1.33)% vs (3.76 ± 1.12)%; t = 1.078, 0.039, P = 0.3040, 0.9698].
After Con A administrated for 12 h, in comparison with WT Con A administration group, the percentage
of neutrophil in peripheral blood of Glt25d1 +/- Con A administration group decreased significantly [(1.37 ±
0.22)% vs (14.40 ± 2.72)%; t = 4.782, P = 0.0088], and in liver increased significantly [(8.08 ± 1.93)% vs
(1.64 ± 0.71)%; t = 3.788, P = 0.0043], there was no statistical difference of neutrophil in spleen [(5.81 ±
0.84)% vs (5.96 ± 0.42)%; t = 0.176, P = 0.8621]. The relative expression of MCP-Ⅰ, MIP-Ⅰα, MIP-Ⅱ and
Ly6G mRNA in WT control group were 0.66 ± 0.31, 1.08 ± 0.23, 1.04 ± 0.17 and 1.05 ± 0.19, respectively,
and in Glt25d1 +/- control group were 0.60 ± 0.13, 1.56 ± 0.11, 0.77 ± 0.07 and 0.92 ± 0.16, respectively, the
differences were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The relative expression of MCP-Ⅰ, MIP-Ⅰα,
MIP-Ⅱ and Ly6G mRNA in WT control group were 1.29 ± 0.41, 1.11 ± 0.18, 1.16 ± 0.19 and 0.90 ± 0.20,
respectively, and in Glt25d1 +/- control group were 2.51 ± 0.26, 4.72 ± 0.45, 2.62 ± 0.36 and 2.36 ± 0.59 in
Glt25d1 +/- Con A administration group, respectively. The above indicators in Glt25d1 +/- Con A administration
group were higher than those in WT Con A administration group, the differences were statistically significant
(all P < 0.05). Conclusions Glt25d1 gene-knockdown aggravated Con A-induced autoimmune hepatitis
in mice. Deficiency of Glt25d1 reduced the proportion of macrophages and neutrophils in peripheral blood,
while increased the proportion of macrophages and neutrophils in liver, and also induced the increasing
transcription levels of MCP-Ⅰ, MIP-Ⅰα, MIP-Ⅱ, and Ly6G mRNA.
