pubmed:abstractText |
Ethanol metabolism in hepatocytes is accompanied by release of a potent lipid chemoattractant for neutrophils. Production of the factor may initiate the inflammation associated with alcoholic hepatitis. In previous studies with a cytosol system from liver, production was blocked by iron chelators as well as by catalase and superoxide dismutase, suggesting the involvement of oxyradicals in formation of the chemoattractant. These studies have examined the role of iron in intact hepatocytes using cells from rats fed an iron-deficient diet, a control diet or a diet containing 3% carbonyl iron. The iron content averaged 1.4 nmol/mg protein in iron-deficient cells, 6.3 in controls and 135.3 in iron-loaded cells. Hepatocytes from all groups were established in primary culture and incubated with ethanol (10 mM); the medium was assayed for chemoattractant activity for human neutrophils. Cultures from chow-fed or iron-loaded animals produced chemoattractant as previously reported. By contrast, chemoattractant production was undetectable in the iron-deficient cultures. Addition of ferric citrate (10 microM) restored chemoattractant production while increasing cellular iron in the deficient cells less than 50% (to 2.3 nmol/mg protein). Addition of desferrioxamine mesylate to cultures of iron-loaded cells ablated chemoattractant production. The data provide evidence for the importance of hepatocellular iron in production of this alcohol-related lipid chemoattractant and suggest that a small intracellular pool of "free" iron plays a critical role.
