HEPATOLOGY, VOLUME 62, NUMBER 1 (SUPPL) AASLD ABSTRACTS 1037A<br />

in experimental and human BA. Methods: Neonatal mice were<br />

challenged with saline or RRV soon after birth. Gene expression<br />

was determined by real-time PCR and immune cells were quantified<br />

by flow cytometry. Histology was performed using H/Estained<br />

sections. Immunofluorescence was performed using<br />

antibodies against C5aR, CD68, pan-cytokeratin (CK) and<br />

Vimentin. Liver wedge biopsies were obtained from patients at<br />

Kasai and explants at transplantation. Genome-wide expressions<br />

were obtained from GEO Series: GSE46995. Results: In<br />

diseased mice, expression levels of Cd68, Cd14 and Mpeg1<br />

progressively increased from the inception of epithelial injury<br />

to complete duct atresia (days 3–14, 1.7–4.5 fold above<br />

saline-injected mice; P=0.001). Proinflammatory macrophage<br />

polarization correlated with increased expressions of Ccl2,<br />

Ccl3, Ccl4, Ccr7, Tlr2 and Tlr6 (1.3–8.3 fold above controls;<br />
