Aetiology-specific inflammation patterns in patients and rat models of compensated cirrhosis
Background
Cirrhosis is associated with a proinflammatory environment.
Aims
To analyse aetiology-specific inflammation patterns in compensated cirrhosis in animal models and patients.
Methods
Portal pressure (PP), fibrosis (collagen proportionate area [CPA]) and hepatic inflammation were measured in cirrhotic rat models (thioacetamide [TAA;n = 12]; choline-deficient high-fat diet [CDHFD;n = 12]; bile duct ligation [BDL;n = 16]). Compensated cirrhotic patients (alcohol-related liver disease [ALD;n = 67]; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis [MASH;n = 50]; cholestatic liver disease [primary biliary cholangitis [PBC]/primary sclerosing cholangitis [PSC];n = 22]) undergoing hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement were included.
Results
In rats, hepatic proinflammatory gene expression was highest in CDHFD and lowest in TAA, despite comparable PP levels. Across all animal models, Tnfa/Il6 correlated positively with CPA, and Mcp1 with elevated PP. Mcp1 was also associated with increased CPA in TAA/CDHFD. Mcp1/Cxcl1 showed a model-independent positive correlation to transaminases. Il1b correlated positively with CPA/PP in BDL and with transaminases in CDHFD. In patients, CRP/IL-6 were lower in MASH compared to ALD or PBC/PSC, regardless of hepatic function. IgA/IgG were highest and complement factors lowest in ALD. More pronounced systemic inflammation was linked to higher HVPG primarily in ALD/MASH.
Conclusion
Proinflammatory pathways are upregulated across all liver disease aetiologies, yet their association with fibrosis and portal hypertension can vary.
