Role of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein in early alcohol-induced liver injury in mice

Cellular responses to endotoxins are enhanced markedly by LPS-binding protein (LBP). Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that endotoxins and proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha participate in early alcohol-induced liver injury. Therefore, in this study, a long-term intragastric ethanol feeding model was used to test the hypothesis that LBP is involved in alcoholic hepatitis by comparing LBP knockout and wild-type mice. Two-month-old female mice were fed a high-fat liquid diet with either ethanol or isocaloric maltose-dextrin as control continuously for 4 wk. There was no difference in mean urine alcohol concentrations between the groups fed ethanol. Dietary alcohol significantly increased liver to body weight ratios and serum alanine aminotransferase levels in wild-type mice (189 +/- 31 U/L) over high-fat controls (24 +/- 7 U/L), effects which were blunted significantly in LBP knockout mice (60 +/- 17 U/L). Although no significant pathological changes were observed in high-fat controls, 4 wk of dietary ethanol caused steatosis, mild inflammation, and focal necrosis in wild-type animals as expected (pathology score, 5.9 +/- 0.5). These pathological changes were reduced significantly in LBP knockout mice fed ethanol (score, 2.6 +/- 0.5). Endotoxin levels in the portal vein were increased significantly after 4 wk in both groups fed ethanol. Moreover, ethanol increased TNF-alpha mRNA expression in wild-type, but not in LBP knockout mice. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that LBP plays an important role in early alcohol-induced liver injury by enhancing LPS-induced signal transduction, most likely in Kupffer cells.     

Ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity and protective effect of betaine.

The protective effects of betaine in ethanol hepatotoxicity were investigated in 24 female wistar albino rats. Animals were divided into three groups: control, ethanol and ethanol + betaine group. Animals were fed liquid diets and consumed approximately 60 diet per day. Rats were fed ethanol 8 kg(- 1) day(- 1). The ethanol + betaine group were fed ethanol plus betaine (0.5% w/v). All animal were fed for 2 months. Reduced glutathione, malondialdehyde and vitamin A were determined in the liver tissue. Alanine aminotransferase activities were also measured on intracardiac blood samples. GSH levels in the ethanol group were significantly lower than these in the control group (p < 0.001). GSH was elevated in the betaine group as compared to the ethanol group (p < 0.001). MDA in the ethanol group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). MDA was decreased in the betaine group as compared to the ethanol group (p < 0.05). Vitamin A in the ethanol group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.01), but, in the ethanol + betaine group it was high compared with the ethanol group (p < 0.01). ALT in the ethanol group was higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). Oxidative stress may play a major role in the ethanol-mediated hepatotoxicity. Betaine may protect liver against injury and it may prevent vitamin A depletion. Therefore, it may be a useful nutritional agent in the prevention of clinical problems dependent on ethanol-induced vitamin A depletion and peroxidative injury in liver.     

Reduced early alcohol-induced liver injury in CD14-deficient mice

Activation of Kupffer cells by gut-derived endotoxin is associated with alcohol-induced liver injury. Recently, it was shown that CD14-deficient mice are more resistant to endotoxin-induced shock than wild-type controls. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the role of CD14 receptors in early alcohol-induced liver injury using CD14 knockout and wild-type BALB/c mice in a model of enteral ethanol delivery. Animals were given a high-fat liquid diet continuously with ethanol or isocaloric maltose-dextrin as control for 4 wk. The liver to body weight ratio in wild-type mice (5.8 +/- 0.3%) was increased significantly by ethanol (7.3 +/- 0.2%) but was not altered by ethanol in CD14-deficient mice. Ethanol elevated serum alanine aminotransferase levels nearly 3-fold in wild-type mice, but not in CD14-deficient mice. Wild-type and knockout mice given the control high-fat diet had normal liver histology, whereas ethanol caused severe liver injury (steatosis, inflammation, and necrosis; pathology score = 3.8 +/- 0.4). In contrast, CD14-deficient mice given ethanol showed minimal hepatic changes (score = 1.6 +/- 0.3, p < 0.05). Additionally, NF-kappa B, TGF-beta, and TNF-alpha were increased significantly in wild-type mice fed ethanol but not in the CD14 knockout. Thus, chronic ethanol feeding caused more severe liver injury in wild-type than CD14 knockouts, supporting the hypothesis that endotoxin acting via CD14 plays a major role in the development of early alcohol-induced liver injury.     

ICAM-1 is involved in the mechanism of alcohol-induced liver injury: studies with knockout mice

To test the hypothesis that leukocyte infiltration mediated by intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 is involved in early alcohol-induced liver injury, male wild-type or ICAM-1 knockout mice were fed a high-fat liquid diet with either ethanol or isocaloric maltose-dextrin for 4 wk. There were no differences in mean urine alcohol concentrations between the groups fed ethanol. Alcohol administration significantly increased liver size and serum alanine aminotransferase levels in wild-type mice over high-fat controls, effects that were blunted significantly in ICAM-1 knockout mice. Dietary ethanol caused severe steatosis, mild inflammation, and focal necrosis in livers from wild-type mice. Furthermore, livers from wild-type mice fed ethanol showed significant increases in the number of infiltrating leukocytes, which were predominantly lymphocytes. These pathological changes were blunted significantly in ICAM-1 knockout mice. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha mRNA expression was increased in wild-type mice fed ethanol but not in ICAM-1 knockout mice. These data demonstrate that ICAM-1 and infiltrating leukocytes play important roles in early alcohol-induced liver injury, most likely by mechanisms involving TNF-alpha.     

Interaction of nutrition and binge ethanol treatment on brain damage and withdrawal

To determine if nutrition plays a role in ethanol withdrawal and alcohol-induced brain damage, the effects of a 4-day ethanol binge treatment using ethanol in a nutritionally complete liquid diet compared to ethanol mixed with water were studied. The nutritionally complete diet group (ETOH-diet) received a complete diet of sugars, proteins and fats with vitamins and minerals with approximately 53% of calories from ethanol while the nutritionally deprived group (ETOH-H2O) received 100% of calories from ethanol. No difference in withdrawal behavior was found between the ETOH-diet and ETOH-H2O groups during the 72-hour period studied. In addition, no difference was seen for serum levels of magnesium and zinc taken at last dose or following 72 h of withdrawal. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and ammonia were increased in both groups with ETOH-diet showing a greater increase in ALT than ETOH-H2O. Both groups showed damage in the olfactory bulb, perirhinal, agranular insular, piriform and lateral entorhinal cortical areas as well as hippocampal dentate gyrus and CA-3. Interestingly, the ETOH-diet group displayed more damage at last dose in the posterior dentate and CA-3 of hippocampus than did the ETOH-H2O group. This study suggests that nutritional components and total caloric intake do not effect behavior during ethanol withdrawal and that a nutritionally complete diet may increase ethanol-induced brain damage.
