BACKGROUND:Hepatic veno-occlusive disease(HVOD)is a severe complication of chemotherapy before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and dietary ingestion of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.Many experimental models were established to study its mechanisms or therapy,but few are ideal.This work aimed at evaluating a rat model of HVOD induced by monocrotaline to help advance research into this disease. METHODS:Thirty-two male rats were randomly classified into 5 groups,and PBS or monocrotaline was administered (100 mg/kg or 160 mg/kg).They were sacrificed on day 7(groups A,B and D)or day 10(groups C and E).Blood samples were collected to determine liver enzyme concentrations.The weight of the liver and body and the amount of ascites were measured.Histopathological changes of liver tissue on light microscopy were assessed by a modified Deleve scoring system.The positivity of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)was estimated. RESULTS:The rats that were treated with 160 mg/kg monocrotaline presented with severe clinical symptoms (including two deaths)and the histopathological picture of HVOD.On the other hand,the rats that were fed with 100 mg/kg monocrotaline had milder and reversible manifestations.Comparison of the rats sacrificed on day 10 with those sacrificed on day 7 showed that the positivity of PCNA increased,especially that of hepatocytes.CONCLUSIONS:Monocrotaline induces acute,dose- dependent HVOD in rats.The model is potentially reversible with a low dose,but reliable and irreversible with a higher dose.The modified scoring system seems to be more accurate than the traditional one in reflecting the histopathology of HVOD.The enhancement of PCNA positivity may be associated with hepatic tissue undergoing recovery.

This procedure aimed at at evaluating METHODS: Thirty-two male mice were randomly classified into 5 groups, and PBS or monocrotaline was administered (100 mg / kg or 160 mg / kg). They were sacrificed on day 7 (groups A, B and D) or day 10 (groups C and E) .Blood samples were collected to determine liver enzyme concentrations. the weight of the liver and body and the amount of ascites were measured. Histopathological changes of liver tissue on light microscopy were assessed by a modified Deleve scoring system. The positivity of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was estimated. RESULTS: The rats that were treated with 160 mg / kg monocrotaline pr esented with severe clinical symptoms (including two deaths) and the histopathological picture of HVOD. On the other hand, the rats that were fed with 100 mg / kg monocrotaline had milder and reversible manifestations. Comparison of the rats sacrificed on day 10 with those sacrificed on day 7 showed that the positivity of PCNA increased, especially that of hepatocytes. CONCLUSIONS: Monocrotaline induces acute, dose-dependent HVOD in rats. model is potentially reversible with a low dose, but reliable and irreversible with a higher dose. modified scoring system seems to be more accurate than the traditional one in reflecting the histopathology of HVOD. The enhancement of PCNA positivity may be associated with hepatic tissue undergoing recovery.
