This study investigated the role of G-protein-coupled receptor 81 (GPR81) in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI). The findings suggest that activation of GPR81 may aggravate remote organ injury induced by HIRI, leading to serious outcomes.
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a serious situation with high morbidity and mortality, which is usually accompanied with hyperlactatemia due to impaired lactate clearance in liver. G-protein-coupled receptor 81 (GPR81) has recently been identified as the bioactive receptor of lactate. GPR81 is profoundly involved in the modulation of metabolism and inflammation, but its significance in HIRI remains unclear. The present study investigated the potential roles of GPR81 in HIRI by using the GPR81 agonist 3-chloro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid (CHBA). The results indicated that treatment with CHBA had no obvious effects on HIRI-induced histologic abnormalities and elevation of serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase. However, CHBA significantly upregulated the serum level of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 in mice with HIRI. Administration of CHBA also exacerbated HIRI-induced histologic lesions in lung, increased the level of myeloperoxidase in lung tissue and the protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. In addition, the serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide and creatinine also increased in CHBA-treated mice. The results indicate that activation of GPR81 might aggravate HIRI-induced remote organ injury and result in serious outcomes.
