Popis: | BACKGROUND: Glutathione-S-transferase A4-4 (GSTA4) is a key enzyme for removal of toxic lipid peroxidation products such as 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). In the current study, we examined the potential role of GSTA4 on protein carbonylation and progression of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) by examining the development of liver injury in male wild type SV/J mice (WT) and SV/J mice lacking functional GSTA4 (GSTA4(−/−) mice). METHODS: Adult male WT and GSTA4(−/−) mice were fed chow (N = 10-12) or high fat Lieber-DeCarli liquid diets containing up to 28% calories as ethanol (EtOH) (N = 18-20) for 116 days. At the end of the study, half of the ethanol-fed mice were acutely challenged with an ethanol binge (3 g/kg given intragastrically) 12 hours before sacrifice. Carbonylation of liver proteins was assessed by immunohistochemical staining for 4-HNE adduction and by comprehensive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, LC-MS/MS, of purified carbonylated proteins. RESULTS: Chronic EtOH intake significantly increased hepatic 4-HNE adduction and protein carbonylation, including carbonylation of ribosomal proteins. EtOH intake also resulted in steatosis and increased serum ALTs. Hepatic infiltration with B-cells, T-cells, and neutrophils and mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα and IFNγ was modest in WT mice. However, an ethanol binge increased hepatic necrosis, hepatic cell proliferation and expression of TNFα mRNA (P |
