Increased pro-inflammatory phenotype of peripheral blood monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages among patients with excessive ethanol intake
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Excessive alcohol consumption adversely affects the immune system and triggers the activation of peripheral blood (PB) monocytes and tissue macrophages, contributing to alcohol- related organ damage. This study aimed to analyze the M1/M2 and inflammatory phenotypes of circulating monocytes and macrophage-derived monocytes (MDMs). This single-center cross- sectional study included 20 excessive alcohol drinkers (EADs) and 22 healthy controls. PB samples were collected under fasting conditions for isolation of CD14+ monocytes and short-term culture without stimulation, LPS/IFNγ, or IL4/IL13. These conditions were also used to polarize monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) into M0, M1, or M2 phenotypes. Cytokine production was assessed in the blood samples and supernatants. M1/M2 related markers in PB monocytes and MDMs were analyzed using mRNA expression and surface marker analyses. In addition, the miRNA profile was analyzed in CD14+ monocytes. PB samples from EADs exhibited increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
