METHODS: Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: cirrhosis group (n = 25) undergoing subcutaneous injection of 40% carbon tetrachloride twice a week for 10-12 weeks to establish cirrhosis models, and control group (n = 15).
The T lymphocytes in the intestinal epithelium were isolated and labeled with mouse anti-rat CD3, CD4 and CD8 monoclonal antibody, Flow cytometry was performed.

METHODS: We generated transgenic (TG) mice with hepatocyte expression of rat IL-10 (rIL-10) to assess its impact on lymphocyte subsets and activation of hepatic stellate cells following liver injury from carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) or thioacetamide (TAA).
By fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS), there were less CD4+ T cells in naive TG mice, and, following fibrosis induction, CD4+ T cells decreased only in wild-type (WT) mice, whereas increases in CD8+ T cells seen in WT animals were significantly attenuated in TG mice.

Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2007 Feb;292(2):G628-38. Epub 2006 Oct 12.

Fibrosis induction was associated with significant increase in CD8 subsets and decrease in CD4 T cells.
Hepatic fibrosis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal administration of carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)) for 6 wk.

Although the number of all liver lymphocyte subsets increased following fibrosis induction, FACS analysis revealed an increase in the distribution of liver CD8 subsets and a decrease of CD4 T cells.
To investigate lymphocyte/hepatic stellate cell (HSC) interactions, hepatic fibrosis was induced by administering carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 4 weeks in C57Bl/6 mice.

We addressed the impact of the ST2 pathway on fibrogenesis using a mouse model of hepatic injury and fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)).
Moreover, depletion of CD4 (+) T cells abrogated ST2-Fc-enhanced Th2 cytokines and accelerated fibrosis.

A selective cytolytic effect of CCl4 was observed among immature (PNA+) thymocytes and peripheral helper (CD4+) T lymphocytes in spleen and was paralleled by a significant reduction in CD25, CD71 and Con A receptor expression.

The contribution of CD4+ Th2 cells to hepatic fibrosis has been well described.
In a carbon tetrachloride-induced mouse model of hepatic fibrosis, T cell-deficient mice developed severe liver fibrosis; however, in B cell-deficient animals, hepatic fibrosis was attenuated.

Liver damage was induced using carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)), lipopolysaccaride (LPS), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), and anti-Fas antibody.
