Resumen: | The occurrence and intensity of staining for specific antibodies against the aminoterminal propeptide of type 111 procollagen (PIIIP), which is indicative of the synthesis and the degradation of that collagen type, was studied in sections from normal and alcoholic livers and compared with serum PIIIP levels, serum antipyrine clearance, fibronectin distribution and morphology as revealed by conventional stains and electronmicroscopy. Positive staining for PIIIP and fibronectin was observed in the perisinusoidal space of the normal liver and in portal tracts. In alcohol-induced fatty liver positive staining increased around the central veins, in alcoholic hepatitis increased staining reaction was seen to a limited extent in areas of cell injury. Extensive reticulin and PIIIP-positive areas were found in the periportal interstitium of the cirrhotic livers and in large fibrotic areas extending into the surrounding parenchyma in cases of active disease. The results show a distinct relationship between collagen type 111 metabolism, morphologically detectable hepatic injury and liver cell function tests, with tissue deposition occurring later in the disease process than biochemically detectable serum collagen levels and signs of altered liver cell function. |
