"The key and novel findings include : 1) Both hepatocyte and myeloid cell TLR4 is required for maximal I/R associated injury; 2) DC TLR4 -/- worsens injury after I/R and is associated with decreased IL-10 expression; 3) Hepatocytes are a major source of circulating HGMB1 after I/R; 4) Hepatocytes respond to hypoxia with increased phosphorylation of MAP kinases, JNK and p38, in a TLR4 dependent fashion; 5) Hypoxia induced HMGB1 release from hepatocytes is dependent on the function of JNK."
