title: [Mechanisms of protective influence of endotoxin-activated Kupffer cells on hepatocytes].
abstract: Various aspects of protective and damaging influences of endotoxin-activated Kupffer cells on hepatocytes are discussed. Requests for protective subcellular mechanism activated by Kupffer cells mediators were formulated. Two possible mechanisms of activated Kupffer cells protective influence on hepatocytes which satisfy these requests are considered. One of them may operate via hepatocyte non-specific reaction to damage initiated by Kupffer cells mediators. Another one may work through activation of endotoxin-dependent tissue stress mechanism in hepatocytes. The data confirm the development of non-specific reaction to damage and the mechanism of tissue stress realized by means of tissue-specific effector in hepatocytes under endotoxin-activated Kupffer cells influence.
