Abstract

In alcoholic liver disease, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) is a critical effector molecule, and abnormal methionine metabolism is a fundamental acquired metabolic abnormality. Although hepatocytes are resistant to TNFalpha-induced killing under normal circumstances, previous studies have shown that primary hepatocytes from rats chronically fed alcohol have increased TNFalpha cytotoxicity. Therefore, there must be mechanisms by which chronic alcohol exposure "sensitizes" to TNFalpha hepatotoxicity. S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) is product of methionine in transsulfuration pathway and a potent competitive inhibitor of most methyltransferases. In this study, we investigated the effects of increased SAH levels on TNFalpha hepatotoxicity. Our results demonstrated that chronic alcohol consumption in mice not only decreased hepatic S-adenosylmethionine levels but also increased hepatic SAH levels, which resulted in a significantly decreased S-adenosylmethionine-to-SAH ratio. This was associated with significant increases in hepatic TNFalpha levels, caspase-8 activity, and cell death. In vitro studies demonstrated that SAH-enhancing agents sensitized hepatocytes to TNFalpha killing, and the death was associated with increased ca...Continue Reading
