    Abstract:
    Ischemia-reperfusion(IR) injury is one of the main complications of liver transplantation and partial hepatectomy. Innate immunity mediated by kupffer cells plays an important role in it. In this study, we focused on evaluating the intrinsic relationship between the autophagy induction of kupffer cells and the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes caused by liver ischemia-reperfusion. Pre-depletion of kupffer cells can aggravate inflammation and tissue damage within 24 h after IR.Enhancing the autophagy of kupffer cells can inhibit the activation of NLRP3 caused by IR, and inhibiting autophagy can induce the secretion of IL1β dependent on NLRP3 activation.Eva1a is up-regulated by the inflammatory cascade activated by IR.Knockdown of Eva1a in vivo on the one hand will aggravate IR inflammation, increase the production of TNF-α, IL-1β and inhibit the secretion of IL-10.On the other hand, it will aggravate the liver histological damage. Knockout of Eva1a induces ASC activation and cleavage of caspase1 and IL1β in an NLRP3-dependent manner, which is closely related to the function of blocking Eva1a to promote autophagosome formation.We further found that knockdown of ATG16L1 will reverse the more formation of autophagosomes induced by overexpression of Eva1a, whereas knockdown of ATG16L1 did not further reduce the formation of autophagosomes inhibited by siEva1a. We also found that the addition of siATG7, siATG5 and siATG12 would reverse the IR autophagy of liver induced by overexpression of Eva1a, but inhibition of the Beclin1-Vps34 pathway did not significantly reverse the effect of overexpression of Eva1a.These prove that Eva1a and ATG16L1 may work together in the liver IR model to actively induce the formation of autophagosomes and be independent from the beclin1-vps34-induced autophagy pathway to limit the excessive activation of IR inflammation. Our study provides brand new insights into the mechanism of liver macrophages in the progression of inflammation in the context of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.
