Abstract

The pathogenesis of alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired cellular energy metabolism. In this study, we explored how ethanol triggers inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction in Kupffer cells, i.e.hepatic resident macrophages, primarily focusing on the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) using immortalized mouse Kupffer cells (ImKCs) and mouse primary KCs. The UPRmt is a cellular defense mechanism activated in response to the perturbation of mitochondrial proteostasis to maintain mitochondrial integrity and function by upregulating the expression of mitochondrial chaperones and proteases. We also determined whether nicotinamide riboside (NR), a NAD+ precursor, could mitigate ethanol-triggered cellular damage. When ImKCs were exposed to 80 mm ethanol for 72 h, they displayed inflammation, oxidative stress, and impaired mitochondrial function with decreased mitochondrial content and deformed mitochondrial crista structure. NR, however, counteracted the effects of ethanol. Furthermore, ethanol increased mRNA and protein levels of UPRmt genes, such as mitochondrial chaperones and proteases, which were attenuated by NR. Notably, the ethanol-induced shift in the entry of activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5), a putative transcriptional regulator of UPRmt, to the nucleus from the mitochondria was abolished by NR. The induction of UPRmt genes by ethanol was significantly repressed when Atf5 was knocked down, indicating the role of ATF5 in the induction of UPRmt genes in ImKCs exposed to ethanol. We also confirmed the induction of UPRmt gene expression in mouse and human livers exposed to alcohol. Our findings demonstrate the ability of NR to alleviate ethanol-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, partly by modulating the ATF5-dependent UPRmt pathway in ImKCs, suggesting its potential for ALD therapy. © 2024 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Pathology aims to serve as a translational bridge between basic biomedical science and clinical medicine with particular emphasis on, but not restricted to, tissue based studies. The main interests of the Journal lie in publishing studies that further our understanding the pathophysiological and pathogenetic mechanisms of human disease. The Journal of Pathology welcomes investigative studies on human tissues, in vitro and in vivo experimental studies, and investigations based on animal models with a clear relevance to human disease, including transgenic systems. As well as original research papers, the Journal seeks to provide rapid publication in a variety of other formats, including editorials, review articles, commentaries and perspectives and other features, both contributed and solicited.
