Popis: | Background & Aims Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TLR3 regulate hepatic immunity under pathological conditions, but their functions and potential drug targets in alcoholic liver disease (ALD) remain poorly understood. Methods ALD-associated liver injury were induced in TLR2 knockout (TLR2–/–), TLR3–/–, TLR2–/– bone marrow transplanted (BMT), TLR3–/– BMT, IL-10–/– mice, and their wild-type littermates through ethanol challenge with or without co-administered epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Moreover, Kupffer cells were depleted by GdCl3 injection to evaluate their pathogenic roles in ALD. Results We identified that deficiency of TLR2 and TLR3 significantly alleviated and aggravated ALD-induced liver injury, respectively. Mechanistically, Kupffer cell inactivation, M1 to M2 polarization, and IL-10 production via STAT3 activation contributed to hepatic protection mediated by concurrent TLR2 inhibition and TLR3 agonism. These findings were further confirmed in TLR2 and TLR3 BMT mice. We also identified a novel ALD-protective agent EGCG which directly interacted with Kupffer cell TLR2/3 to induce IL-10 production. Deficiency of IL-10 aggravated ALD injury and blunted EGCG-mediated hepatoprotection while depletion of Kupffer cells partially recovered liver injury but abolished EGCG’s actions. Conclusions Altogether, our results illustrate the divergent roles of Kupffer cells TLR2/3 in ALD progression via anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 production. Graphical abstract |
