Atherosclerosis and cancer are characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation and share common risk factors, such as cigarette smoking, dietary habits and ageing. Growth of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in atherosclerotic plaques may result from DNA damage, caused either by exogenous mutagens or by agents endogenously generated due to oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation (LPO). Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a major LPO product, binds covalently to cellular DNA to form the exocyclic etheno-DNA-base adducts, 1,N(6)-ethenodeoxyadenine (varepsilondA) and 3,N(4)-ethenodeoxycytosine (varepsilondC). By applying an ultrasensitive (32)P-postlabeling-immunoaffinity method, varepsilondA and varepsilondC were quantified in abdominal aorta SMCs from 13 atherosclerotic patients and 3 non-smoking subjects without atherosclerotic lesions. The levels of etheno-adducts ranged for varepsilondA from 2.3 to 39.6/10(8)dA and for varepsilondC from 10.7 to 157.7/10(8)dC, with a high correlation between varepsilondA and varepsilondC (r=0.84, P=0.0001). Etheno-adduct levels were higher in atherosclerotic smokers than in ex-smokers for both varepsilondA (means 15.2 versus 7.3, P=0.06) and varepsilondC (71.9 versus 51.6, not significant). varepsilondC levels were higher in either ex-smokers (P=0.03) or smokers (P=0.07) than in non-smokers. There was a poor correlation between either varepsilondA or varepsilondC and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, whereas significant positive correlations were detected with the levels of several postlabeled bulky aromatic DNA adducts. In conclusion, two different types of DNA damage may be involved in atherosclerotic plaque formation and progression: (i) bulky aromatic compounds, to which aorta SMCs are chronically exposed in smokers, can either covalently bind to DNA, induce redox-cycling via quinone intermediates and/or activate local chronic inflammatory processes in the arterial wall; ii) this in turn leads to a self perpetuating generation of reactive oxygen species, LPO-products and increasing DNA-damage, as documented by the presence of high levels of miscoding etheno-DNA adducts in human aorta SMCs. 相似文献

Increased oxidative stress and subsequent lipid peroxidation (LPO) are thought to be critical events in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions in apolipoprotein E deficient mice (ApoE-KO). LPO derived reactive aldehydes react with DNA to form exocyclic etheno-DNA adducts. These pro-mutagenic DNA lesions are known to be involved in the initiation of carcinogenesis, but their role in the development of atherosclerosis is unknown. In the present study we show that levels of the LPO derived 1,N(6)-ethenodeoxyadenosine (varepsilondA) and 3,N(4)-ethenodeoxycytidine (varepsilondC) were both significantly lower in aorta of 12 weeks old ApoE-KO mice as compared to their wild type controls (1.6+/-0.3 versus 3.2+/-0.8 varepsilondA per 10(8) parent nucleotides, P=0.04 and 4.8+/-0.8 versus 9.2+/-2.1 for varepsilondC, P=0.02). Moreover, levels of both DNA adduct types were inversely related with total plasma cholesterol levels. Consequently, lowest etheno-DNA adduct levels were observed in ApoE-KO mice on a high fat diet. Hypercholesterolemia has previously been associated with increased expression of base excision repair (BER) enzymes, which could explain the lower levels of etheno-DNA adducts in ApoE-KO mice as compared to wild type controls. Indeed, increased staining for the BER-specific DNA repair enzyme apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (Ape1/Ref1) was observed by immunohistochemistry in the endothelium and the first layers of arterial smooth muscle cells of ApoE-KO mice as compared to their wild type counterparts. A high fat diet further increased overall Ape1/Ref1 protein expression in ApoE-KO mice. Although these data suggest no role for increased LPO derived DNA damage in the onset of atherogenesis in ApoE-KO mice, the potentially modulating role of Ape1/Ref1 in the arterial wall deserves further attention. 相似文献

Intake of linoleic acid (LA) increased etheno-DNA adducts induced by lipid peroxidation (LPO) in white blood cells (WBC) of female but not of male volunteers [J. Nair, C.E. Vaca, I. Velic, M. Mutanen, L.M. Valsta, H. Bartsch, High dietary omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids drastically increase the formation of etheno-DNA adducts in white blood cells of female subjects, Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev. 6 (1997) 597-601]. Etheno-adducts were measured in rats gavaged with LA, oleic acid (OA) and saturated fatty acid rich coconut oil for 30 days. DNA from organs and total WBC was analyzed for 1, N(6)-ethenodeoxyadenosine (varepsilondA) and 3, N(4)-ethenodeoxycytidine (varepsilondC) by immunoaffinity/(32)P-postlabeling. Colon was the most affected target with LA-treatment, where etheno-adducts were significantly elevated in both sexes. In WBC both adducts were elevated only in LA-treated females. Unexpectedly, OA treatment enhanced etheno-adduct levels in prostate 3-9 fold. Our results in rodents confirm the gender-specific increase of etheno-adducts in WBC-DNA, likely due to LPO induced by redox-cycling of 4-hydroxyestradiol. Colon was a target for LPO-derived DNA-adducts in both LA-treated male and female rats, supporting their role in omega-6 PUFA induced colon carcinogenesis. 相似文献

N-Nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP) and N-nitroso(2-hydroxypropyl)(2-oxypropyl)amine (HPOP) induce pancreatic tumors in the Syrian hamster. BOP and HPOP target the kidneys, esophagus and upper respiratory system in rats, but the pancreas of this species is resistant to the above carcinogens. On the other hand, N-nitrosodimethylamine (DMN) induces hepatic and kidney tumors in the rat, and tumors of the liver and upper respiratory system in the hamster, but it is not known to affect the pancreas of either species. At equimolar doses, ratios of DMN versus BOP or HPOP mediated methylation in hamster liver DNA are 1.6 and 8.1, respectively. Respective ratios in the rat liver are 1.1 and 6.5. However, in both species equitoxic doses of BOP, HPOP and DMN induce similar levels of N7-methylguanine (N7-MeG) in hepatic DNA. At such doses methylation of kidney DNA is 24 and 14 times more extensive in BOP and HPOP than in DMN-treated hamsters. Similarly, ratios of N7-MeG in the pancreas of BOP and HPOP vs. DMN-treated hamsters are 10 and 5, respectively, while in the lung this ratio is 2.2 for both carcinogens. Levels of O6-methylguanine (O6-MeG) in the DNA of extrahepatic tissues are substantially greater in hamsters treated with BOP or HPOP than in those treated with an equitoxic dose of DMN. In rats, equitoxic doses of BOP and DMN induce similar levels of N7-MeG and O6-MeG in hepatic, kidney and lung DNA. However, levels of these adducts in pancreatic DNA are 2 times greater following BOP than DMN administration. Ratios of N7-MeG in pancreas, lung and kidney in HPOP vs. DMN-treated rats are 2.1, 2.7 and 2.1, respectively. Repair of O6-MeG is more effective in rat than in hamster liver, however in other tissues this is not always the case. Levels of O6-MeG in the pancreas of rats are reduced to half of their initial value between 40 and 50 h following the administration of 10, 50 or 20 mg/kg DMN, HPOP or BOP, respectively. However, half-lives for the repair of O6-MeG in hamster pancreas are 28, 62 and greater than 120 h at the respective doses of the above carcinogens. Since the above doses of DMN, HPOP and BOP induce 7, 19 and 41 nmol O6-MeG/mmol of guanine respectively in the hamster pancreas, it is suggested that the rate of repair could be a function of the initial concentration of this adduct. Differences between DMN and BOP or HPOP in methylating pancreatic DNA are sufficient to distinguish the latter two nitrosamines as pancreatic carcinogens for the hamster. 相似文献

The intragastric administration of ethanol as part of a low-carbohydrate diet results in alcohol hepatotoxicity. We aimed to investigate whether comparable liver injury can be achieved by oral diet intake. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed ethanol as part of low-carbohydrate diets for 36-42 days either intragastrically or orally. Liver pathology, blood ethanol concentration, serum alanine amino transferase (ALT), endotoxin level, hepatic CYP2E1 induction, and cytokine profiles were assessed. Both oral and intragastric low-carbohydrate ethanol diets resulted in marked steatosis with additional inflammation and necrosis accompanied by significantly increased serum ALT, high levels of CYP2E1 expression, and production of auto-antibodies against malondialdehyde and hydroxyethyl free radical protein adducts. However, cytokine profiles differed substantially between the groups, with significantly lower mRNA expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 4 observed in rats fed low-carbohydrate diets orally. Inflammation and necrosis were significantly greater in rats receiving low-carbohydrate alcohol diets intragastrically than orally. This was associated with a significant increase in liver tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1beta gene expression in the intragastric model. Thus, oral low-carbohydrate diets produce more ethanol-induced liver pathology than oral high-carbohydrate diets, but hepatotoxicity is more severe when a low-carbohydrate diet plus ethanol is infused intragastrically and is accompanied by significant increases in levels of proinflammatory cytokines. 相似文献

Studies initiated to characterize cytochrome P450 2E1(CYP2E1) in freshly isolated rat blood lymphocytes revealed significant mRNA of CYP2E1 in control blood lymphocytes. RT-PCR studies have shown that as observed in liver, acute treatment of ethanol (single oral dose of 0.8 ml/kg b.wt, i.p), resulted in increase in the mRNA expression of CYP2E1 in freshly isolated rat blood lymphocytes. Western blotting studies using polyclonal antibody raised against rat liver CYP2E1 demonstrated significant immunoreactivity, comigrating with the liver isoenzyme, in freshly isolated control rat blood lymphocytes. Similar to that seen in liver, pretreatment of ethanol was found to produce an increase in the CYP2E1 isoenzyme in the blood lymphocytes. Blood lymphocytes were also found to catalyze the CYP dependent N-demethylation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which like in liver increased 2-3 fold following pretreatment of rats with known CYP2E1 inducers. Kinetic studies have further shown significant increase in the apparent Vmax and the affinity towards the substrate in rat blood lymphocytes indicating that as observed in liver, the increase in mRNA and protein expression following exposure to CYP2E1 inducers is associated with the increased catalytic activity of CYP2E1 in freshly isolated rat blood lymphocytes. The data indicating similarities of the blood lymphocyte CYP2E1 with the liver enzyme suggest that lymphocyte CYP2E1 levels in freshly isolated rat blood lymphocytes could be used to monitor tissue enzyme levels. 相似文献

ObjectiveThis investigation attempted to clarify the effects of soy protein on alcoholic liver disease (ALD) in rats undergoing ethanol withdrawal.MethodsAlcoholic liver disease was induced in rats by administration of a low-carbohydrate ethanol liquid diet for 12 weeks, after which the ethanol was withdrawn and the rats were divided into two experimental groups: a control group (EC group) and a soy protein group (EP group) for 4 weeks.ResultsAfter the 12-week ALD-inducing period, the ethanol group had significantly higher hepatic lipid accumulation, oxidative stress and inflammation. We found that the EP group had significantly lower hepatic lipids, malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, hydroxyproline levels and myeloperoxidase activity compared to the EC group. Moreover, the fecal total cholesterol and total lipids were higher in the EP group. Expression of the hepatic cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) protein in the EP group was significantly lower than that in the EC group, and the hepatic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α and cytochrome P450 4A (CYP4A) protein expressions in the EP group were significantly higher than those in the EC group. In the histopathological analysis, we also found that soy protein ameliorated fat accumulation in the liver.ConclusionThese results suggest that soy protein may improve alcohol-induced lipid accumulation, oxidative stress and inflammation by decreasing proinflammatory cytokines and CYP2E1 protein expression and by increasing PPARα and CYP4A protein expressions and fecal lipid excretion, thereby producing beneficial effects on ALD during ethanol withdrawal. 相似文献

The acetylation of the ε-amino group of lysine to form N-acetyl lysine (N-AcLys)-modified proteins regulates the activity of metabolic proteins. Because of the multiple effects of ethanol upon hepatic metabolism, it was hypothesized that ethanol exposure increases the hepatic content of N-AcLys-modified proteins. To test this hypothesis, rats or mice were exposed to ethanol using a liquid diet regimen. Content of N-AcLys-modified proteins was elevated more than 5-fold after 6 weeks of ethanol exposure and persisted after ethanol withdrawal. Use of CYP2E1-knockout mice demonstrated that ethanol-induced acetylation was not dependent solely on CYP2E1 expression. The mitochondrial content of N-AcLys-modified proteins was elevated almost 5-fold following 6 weeks of ethanol exposure. Mitochondrial content of the deacetylase Sirt3 was unchanged by 6 weeks of ethanol exposure. These data indicate ethanol intoxication changes the acetylation status of, and likely the activity of, multiple mitochondrial proteins. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that replicative bacterial and viral DNA polymerases are able to bypass the mutagenic lesions O(6)-methyl and -benzyl (Bz) G. Recombinant human polymerase (pol) delta also copied past these two lesions but was totally blocked by O(6)-[4-oxo-4-(3-pyridyl)butyl] (Pob)G, an important mutagenic lesion formed following metabolic activation of the tobacco-specific carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone. The human translesion pols iota and kappa produced mainly only 1-base incorporation opposite O(6)-MeG and O(6)-BzG and had very low activity in copying O(6)-PobG. Human pol eta copied past all three adducts. Steady-state kinetic analysis showed similar efficiencies of insertion opposite the O(6)-alkylG adducts for dCTP and dTTP with pol eta and kappa; pol iota showed a strong preference for dTTP. pol eta, iota, and kappa showed pre-steady-state kinetic bursts for dCTP incorporation opposite G and O(6)-MeG but little, if any, for O(6)-BzG or O(6)-PobG. Analysis of the pol eta O(6)-PobG products indicated that the insertion of G was opposite the base (C) 5' of the adduct, but this product was not extended. Mass spectrometry analysis of all of the pol eta primer extension products indicated multiple components, mainly with C or T inserted opposite O(6)-alkylG but with no deletions in the cases of O(6)-MeG and O(6)-PobG. With pol eta and O(6)-BzG, products were also obtained with -1 and -2 deletions and also with A inserted (opposite O(6)-BzG). The results with pol eta may be relevant to some mutations previously reported with O(6)-alkylG adducts in mammalian cells. 相似文献

Excess fat accumulation renders the liver more vulnerable to ethanol, but it is still unclear how alcohol enhances lipid dysmetabolism and oxidative stress in a pre-existing steatosis condition. The effects produced by binge ethanol consumption in the liver of male Wistar rats fed a standard (Ctrl) or a high-fat diet HFD were compared. The liver status was checked through tissue histology and standard serum parameters. Alteration of hepatic lipid homeostasis and consequent oxidative unbalance were assessed by quantifying the mRNA expression of the lipid-regulated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), of the cytochromes CYP2E1 and CYP4A1, and of some antioxidant molecules such as the metallothionein isoforms MT1 and MT2 and the enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase. The number of adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP)-positive lipid droplets (LDs) was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. As a response to the double insult of diet and ethanol the rat liver showed: (1) a larger increase in fat accumulation within ADRP-positive LDs; (2) stimulation of lipid oxidation in the attempt to limit excess fat accumulation; (3) induction of antioxidant proteins (MT2, in particular) to protect the liver from the ethanol-induced overproduction of oxygen radicals. The data indicate an increased susceptibility of fatty liver to ethanol and suggest that the synergistic effect of diet and ethanol on lipid dysmetabolism might be mediated, at least in part, by PPARs and cytochromes CYP4A1 and CYP2E1. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) 2E1 (CYP2E1) is induced by pure ethanol following its chronic administration, and commercial alcoholic beverages, whose major constituent is ethanol, are generally assumed to have a similar effect on this isoform of CYP450. Recently, we serendipitously discovered that beer administered to rats for six weeks had only a minimal inductive effect on hepatic microsomal CYP2E1 activity, while rats on 10% ethanol had CYP2E1 levels five-fold greater than controls. The daily ethanol intake levels for the beer fed and 10% ethanol fed rats were equivalent. In addition, CYP450 spectral features of microsomes from beer fed and ethanol fed rats were markedly different. Spectral examination of microsomes from beer fed rats revealed that about 40% of the total CYP450 content existed in the form of a metabolic intermediate (MI) complex, while no evidence was found for MI complex formation in microsomes of ethanol fed rats. We conclude that beer contains an unidentified component(s) that apparently blocks the typical ethanol induction of CYP2E1 and form an MI complex with CYP450. 相似文献

Alcoholic liver disease is multifactorial and oxidative stress is believed to play an intimate role in the initiation and progression of this pathology. The goals of this study were to investigate the effect of chronic ethanol treatment on inducing hepatic oxidative stress and peroxiredoxin 6 expression. After 9 weeks of treatment with an ethanol-containing diet, significant increases in serum ALT activity, liver to body weight ratio, liver triglycerides, CYP2E1 protein expression, and CYP2E1 activity were observed. Chronic ethanol feeding resulted in oxidative stress as evidenced by decreases in hepatic glutathione content and increased deposition of 4-hydroxynonenal and 4-oxononenal protein adducts. In addition, novel findings of decreased PRX6 protein and mRNA and increased levels of carbonylated PRX6 protein were observed in the ethanol-treated animals compared to the pair-fed controls. Lastly, NF-kappaB activity was found to be significantly increased in the ethanol-treated animals. Concurrent with the increase in NF-kappaB activity, decreases in both MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were also observed in the ethanol-treated animals compared to the pair-fed controls. Together, these data demonstrate that chronic ethanol treatment results in oxidative stress, implicating NF-kappaB activation as an integral mechanism in the negative regulation of PRX6 gene expression in the mouse liver. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of glutamine supplementation on inflammatory responses in chronic ethanol-fed rats. Male Wistar rats weighing about 160 g were divided into five groups. Two groups were fed a normal liquid diet and three groups were fed a glutamine-containing liquid diet. After 1 week, one of the normal liquid diet groups was fed an ethanol-containing liquid diet (CE), and the other group served as the control (CC) group. At the same time, one of the glutamine-containing liquid diet groups was continually fed the same diet (GCG), but the other two groups were fed ethanol-containing diet supplemented with glutamine (GEG) or without glutamine (GE). The following items were analyzed: (1) liver function, (2) cytokine contents, and (3) hepatic oxidative stress. The activities of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) and levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β in the CE group had significantly increased. In addition, hepatic cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) expression had significantly increased in the CE, GE and GEG groups. However, the activities of AST and ALT and levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in the GE group were significantly lower than those of the CE group. The results suggest that the plasma inflammatory responses of rats fed an ethanol-containing liquid diet for 7 weeks significantly increased. However, pretreatment with glutamine improved the plasma inflammatory responses induced by ethanol. 相似文献

Inhibition of ethanol-induced liver disease in the intragastric feeding rat model by chlormethiazole 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Gouillon Z Lucas D Li J Hagbjork AL French BA Fu P Fang C Ingelman-Sundberg M Donohue TM French SW 《Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine (New York, N.Y.)》2000,224(4):302-308
The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of chlormethiazole treatment on liver damage in the experimental rat intragastric ethanol-feeding model of alcoholic liver disease. Chlormethiazole has been used in the treatment of alcoholic withdrawal and has been shown to inhibit cytochrome P4502E1. Since treatment of experimental alcoholic liver disease with CYP2E1 inhibitors had an ameliorating effect on liver injury in the rat, chlormethiazole was used to see if it had a similar effect. Rats fed ethanol for 2 months had significantly less liver injury when chlormethiazole was added to the diet, fed intragastrically. The CYP2E1 apoprotein levels, which were increased by ethanol feeding, were also increased when chlormethiazole was fed with ethanol. Chlormethiazole inhibited the increase in the ethanol-induced CYP2E1 activity in vivo, as measured by chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation, but did not affect the level of CYP2E1 apoprotein. Likewise, the reduction in proteasome proteolytic enzyme activity produced by ethanol feeding was blunted in chlormethiazole-fed rats. These results support the conclusion that chlormethiazole treatment partially protects the liver from injury by inhibiting CYP2E1 activity in vivo. 相似文献

In the present study, we report the development of a sensitive and selective assay based on LC (liquid chromatography)-MS/MS (tandem MS) to simultaneously measure N7-MeG (N7-methylguanine) and N7-EtG (N7-ethylguanine) in DNA hydrolysates. With the use of isotope internal standards (15N5-N7-MeG and 15N5-N7-EtG) and on-line SPE (solid-phase extraction), the detection limit of this method was estimated as 0.42 fmol and 0.17 fmol for N7-MeG and N7-EtG respectively. The high sensitivity achieved here makes this method applicable to small experimental animals. This method was applied to measure N7-alkylguanines in liver DNA from mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis) that were exposed to NDMA (N-nitrosodimethylamine) and NDEA (N-nitrosodiethylamine) alone or their combination over a wide range of concentrations (1-100 mg/l). Results showed that the background level of N7-MeG in liver of control fish was 7.89+/-1.38 mmol/mol of guanine, while N7-EtG was detectable in most of the control fish with a range of 0.05-0.19 mmol/mol of guanine. N7-MeG and N7-EtG were significantly induced by NDMA and NDEA respectively, at a concentration as low as 1 mg/l and increased in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, this LC-MS/MS assay provides the sensitivity and high throughput required to evaluate the extent of alkylated DNA lesions in small animal models of cancer induced by alkylating agents. 相似文献

Overexpression of CYP2E1 in mitochondria sensitizes HepG2 cells to the toxicity caused by depletion of glutathione 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Induction of CYP2E1 by ethanol is one mechanism by which ethanol causes oxidative stress and alcohol liver disease. Although CYP2E1 is predominantly found in the endoplasmic reticulum, it is also located in rat hepatic mitochondria. In the current study, chronic alcohol consumption induced rat hepatic mitochondrial CYP2E1. To study the role of mitochondrial targeted CYP2E1 in generating oxidative stress and causing damage to mitochondria, HepG2 lines overexpressing CYP2E1 in mitochondria (mE10 and mE27 cells) were established by transfecting a plasmid containing human CYP2E1 cDNA lacking the hydrophobic endoplasmic reticulum targeting signal sequence into HepG2 cells followed by G418 selection. A 40-kDa catalytically active NH2-terminally truncated form of CYP2E1 (mtCYP2E1) was detected in the mitochondrial compartment in these cells by Western blot analysis. Cell death caused by depletion of GSH by buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) was increased in mE10 and mE27 cells as compared with cells transfected with empty vector (pCI-neo). Antioxidants were able to abolish the loss of cell viability. Increased levels of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial 3-nitrotyrosine and 4-hydroxynonenal protein adducts and decreased mitochondrial aconitase activity and mitochondrial membrane potential were observed in mE10 and mE27 cells treated with BSO. The mitochondrial membrane stabilizer, cyclosporine A, was also able to protect these cells from BSO toxicity. These results revealed that CYP2E1 in the mitochondrial compartment could induce oxidative stress in the mitochondria, damage mitochondria membrane potential, and cause a loss of cell viability. The accumulation of CYP2E1 in hepatic mitochondria induced by ethanol consumption might play an important role in alcohol liver disease. 相似文献

Tissue deposition of protein adducts derived from ethanol metabolism and lipid peroxidation, has been suggested to play a role in the initiation of alcoholic liver disease. The mechanisms modulating adduct formation have, however, remained unclear. We used immunohistochemical methods to examine acetaldehyde (AA) and malondialdehyde (MDA) adducts and cytochrome P4502E1 and P4503A2 expression in rats after administration of (i) an ethanol-diet (n = 6), (ii) ethanol-diet plus gadolinium chloride (GdCl(3)), a selective Kupffer cell toxicant (n = 7), or (iii) control diet (n = 6). A 4 week ethanol treatment resulted in liver steatosis, necrosis, and inflammation and deposition of protein adducts with both AA and MDA, which colocalized with areas of fatty change. The intensities (mean +/- SD) of the immunohistochemical reactions for both AA (2.50 +/- 1.23) and MDA (3.00 +/- 1.10) adducts were significantly higher in the ethanol-fed animals than in the controls (0.083 +/- 0.20) (0.16 +/- 0.25) (p <.001). GdCl(3) prevented adduct accumulation, the mean immunohistochemistry scores being 0.86 +/- 1.07 for AA and 1.64 +/- 0.63 for MDA, the former showing a more striking reduction (p <.01). The hepatic cytochrome enzymes were not different in the ethanol-fed groups with or without GdCl(3). The data indicates that Kupffer cells are involved in the generation of protein adducts with both acetaldehyde and ethanol-induced lipid peroxidation products in alcoholic liver disease. 相似文献
