| Popis: | Today, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic liver disease (ALD) account for more than 50% of chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis in developed countries. The clinical significance of these pathologies lies in the formation of liver fibrosis and, therefore, in the increased risk of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, which are life-threatening conditions. NAFLD is based on obesity and insulin resistance, whereas alcohol consumption is central to the etiopathogenesis of ALD. Recently, the role of the gut-liver microbiota axis in the genesis of NAFLD and ALD has also received increasing attention. Changes in qualitative and quantitative composition of intestinal microbiota and alterations of barrier function of intestinal mucosa can lead to entry of intraluminal antigens through portal vein system into the liver, inducing damage to hepatocytes and activation of proinflammatory processes. It is shown that in patients with CLD (NAFLD and ALD) there is an increase in the permeability of the intestinal mucosa and dysbiotic changes of the intestinal microbiome. The role of the gut-liver microbiota axis is well described in the genesis of NAFLD and ALD. Chronic alcohol consumption leads to increased colonies of Gram-negative bacteria in the intestinal mucosa and, therefore, to the accumulation of endotoxins (lipopolysaccharide components of bacterial cell membranes). Acetaldehyde produced by ADH of the intestinal epithelium stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of tight cell contacts, increasing intestinal mucosal permeability, which leads to translocation of endotoxins into the portal bloodstream. Obesity is a major risk factor for NAFLD, which is also associated with dysbiotic changes in the intestinal microbiome. Obese individuals have increased Firmicutes, decreased Bacteroidetes, mediated reduction of short-chain fatty acid synthesis and increased intestinal wall permeability due to disruption of intercellular dense contacts, which leads to increased translocation of bacteria and endotoxins into the systemic bloodstream. |
