Abstract

We previously reported a link between ethanol-induced elevation of homocysteine, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and alcoholic liver injury in the murine model of intragastric ethanol feeding. We studied the role of TNFalpha in this setting by using TNFR1 knockout mice (C57 BL/6). There was a 7.4-fold increase of homocysteine in wild-type and a 6-fold increase in TNFR1 knockout mice with intragastric alcohol exposure for 4 weeks. Plasma TNFalpha increased in the wild-type (18.4 +/- 3.3 pg/mL vs. 8.4 +/- 1.3 pg/mL (control)) and in the knockouts (12.9 +/- 1.4 pg/mL vs. 7.2 +/- 1.6 pg/mL (control)). Similar extent of fatty liver was observed in both types. Increased ALT was observed in both groups. Necroinflammatory foci were increased significantly in ethanol-fed knockouts but not to the same extent as in the ethanol-fed wild type. Increase of hepatic apoptosis and reduction of S-adenosyl-L-methionine was detected in both types of animals fed ethanol. ER stress demonstrated by RT-PCR of mRNA of selective ER stress markers GRP78, CHOP, and SREBP1 was increased equivalently in both types of mice. Betaine administration decreased ER stress in conjunction with attenuation of the elevated plasma homocysteine in both types of anima...Continue Reading
