Kupffer cell-derived prostaglandin E2is involved in alcohol-induced fat accumulation in rat liver

Abstract: Destruction of Kupffer cells with gadolinium chloride (GdCl(3)) and intestinal sterilization with antibiotics diminished ethanol-induced steatosis in the enteral ethanol feeding model. However, mechanisms of ethanol-induced fatty liver remain unclear. Accordingly, the role of Kupffer cells in ethanol-induced fat accumulation was studied. Rats were given ethanol (5 g/kg body wt) intragastrically, and tissue triglycerides were measured enzymatically. Kupffer cells were isolated 0-24 h after ethanol, and PGE(2) p… Show more

“…The concentrations of plasma PGE 2 decreased immediately after calving in both groups, however, suggesting suppression of PGE 2 production from macrophages. In other research, PGE 2 administered intravenously to rats was associated with hepatic lipidosis (Enomoto et al 2000). Therefore, a decrease in the concentration of plasma PGE 2 immediately after parturition might be beneficial to transition cows.…”

“…127 In this regard, PGE 2 also inhibits liver lipolysis, b-oxidation, and very low density lipoprotein synthesis further contributing to obesity, 128 yet the EP receptor is unknown. This lipid-accumulating effect of PGE 2 on hepatocyte lipid metabolism has been recognized for quite some time [129][130][131][132][133][134] ; however, it has also been demonstrated that PGE 2 derived from nonparenchymal liver cells attenuates insulin responses in the hepatocyte. 124 COX-2 derived PGE 2 also inhibits pancreatic insulin secretion, and COX-2 inhibitors and EP 3 antagonists improved b-cell function in mice, resulting in enhanced insulin release and glucose tolerance after a glucose challenge.…”

“…Furthermore, Kupffer cell-derived PGE2 has been implicated in alcohol-induced steatosis in rat liver ( 40 ). Despite their importance to hepatic lipid metabolism, little is known about the factors regulating PG production.…”
