Chronic alcohol drinking compromises lung immunity by altering immunometabolism in both human and mouse lungs

ABSTRACT: Heavy alcohol drinking dysregulates lung immunity and host defense, which makes individuals with AUD more susceptible to develop inflammatory condition in lungs with poor prognosis. Current study, we focused on exploring the effects of chronic alcohol consumption on lungs using NIAAA alcohol feeding model in mice with 10 days of a Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet containing 5% ethanol followed by a single ethanol binge (5 g/kg) and population based human lung transcriptome data from Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project consist of 328 alcohol drinkers and 110 non-drinkers. Flow cytometry and transcriptomics analysis in mice lungs revealed that alcohol consumption dysregulates cellularity of immune cell levels and lung immunity. Transcriptomics analysis both in lungs and liver at 9-, 24- hours and 14 days post ethanol binge in mice uncovered that the lungs were more sensitive to alcohol effect to down-regulate pathways of immune system regulations than liver. Comparative data analysis of lung transcriptomes between mice and human subjects not only confirmed similar dysregulation on lung immunity but also provided evidence that immunometabolic changes are the central driver of alterations in lung transcriptome with down regulating immune pathways and upregulating metabolic pathways. Since the NIAAA model recapitulates multiple changes in the lung transcriptome that had been observed in human subjects with chronic alcohol drinking, this makes the mouse model suitable for experimental studies exploring role of alcohol drinking in lung health. Chronic alcohol drinking reduced mTOR signaling and cellularity of immune cells, which can be further attenuated by selective inhibition of mTOR. BCAA-mTOR signaling axis can be an upstream regulator of alcohol induced dysregulation in lung immunity

Project description:The objective of this study was to determine changes in gene expression within the extended amygdala following binge-like alcohol drinking by adolescent alcohol-preferring (P) rats. Starting at 28 days of age, P rats were given concurrent access to 15 and 30 % ethanol for 3 one-h sessions for 5 consecutive days each week until they were 49 days old. Rats were killed by decapitation 3 h after the first ethanol access session on the 15th day of drinking. RNA was prepared from micropunch samples of the nucleus accumbens shell (Acb-sh) and central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA). Ethanol intakes were 2.5 to 3.0 g/kg/session. There were 154 and 182 unique named genes that significantly differed (FDR = 0.2) between the water and ethanol group in the Acb-sh and CeA, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) analyses indicated that adolescent binge drinking produced changes in the in biological processes involved in cell proliferation and regulation of cellular structure in the Acb-sh, and in neuron projection and positive regulation of cellular organization in the CeA. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis indicated that, in the Acb-sh, there were several major intracellular signaling pathways (e.g., cAMP-mediated and protein kinase A signaling pathways) altered by adolescent drinking, with 3-fold more genes up-regulated than down-regulated in the alcohol group. The cAMP-mediated signaling system was also up-regulated in the CeA of the alcohol group. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) indicated significant G-protein coupled receptor signaling and transmembrane receptor protein kinase signaling categories in the Acb-sh and CeA, respectively. Overall, the results of this study indicated that binge-like alcohol drinking by adolescent P rats is differentially altering the expression of genes in the Acb-sh and CeA, some of which are involved in intracellular signaling pathways and may produce long-term changes in neuronal function. Differences in gene expression in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) were compared in two groups of alcohol-preferring (P) rats, one given water only and the other given access to 15 & 30% ethanol during adolescence.

Project description:Adolescence is a critical period in cognitive and emotional development, characterized by high levels of social interaction and increases in risk-taking behavior including binge drinking. Adolescent exposure to social stress and binge ethanol have individually been associated with the development of social, emotional, and cognitive deficits, as well as increased risk for alcohol use disorder. Disruption of cortical development by early life social stress and/or binge drinking may partly underlie these enduring emotional, cognitive, and behavioral effects. The study goal is to implement a novel neighbor housing environment to identify the effects of adolescent neighbor housing and/or binge ethanol drinking on (1) a battery of emotional and cognitive tasks (2) adult ethanol drinking behavior, and (3) the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex transcriptome. Adolescent male and female C57BL/6J mice were single or neighbor housed with or without access to intermittent ethanol. One cohort underwent behavioral testing during adulthood to determine social preference, expression of anxiety-like behavior, cognitive performance, and patterns of ethanol intake. The second cohort was sacrificed in late adolescence and brain tissue was used for transcriptomics analysis. As adults, single housed mice displayed decreased social interaction, deficits in the novel object recognition task, and increased anxiety-like behavior, relative to neighbor-housed mice. There was no effect of housing condition on adolescent or adult ethanol consumption. Adolescent ethanol exposure did not alter adult ethanol intake. Transcriptomics analysis revealed that adolescent housing condition and ethanol exposure resulted in differential expression of genes related to synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens and genes related to methylation, the extracellular matrix and inflammation in the prefrontal cortex. The behavioral results indicate that social interaction during adolescence via the neighbor housing model may protect against emotional, social, and cognitive deficits. In addition, the transcriptomics results suggest that these behavioral alterations may be mediated in part by dysregulation of transcription in the frontal cortex or the nucleus accumbens

Project description:Background: The most important risk factors for head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) are tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption, while subgroups are caused by infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV) or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Here, we studied alterations of somatic copy-number in whole genome, p16 protein and TP53 mutations by alcohol drinking, smoking and viral infections. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study. DNA obtained from tumors and margin samples as well as peripheral blood was assayed by array comparative genomic hybridization using Agilent Whole Human Genome 180K. Mutations of p53 gene by direct sequencing, detection of HPV by polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR), quantification of EBV by reverse transcription-PCR and p16 immunohistochemical (IHC) staining were also performed. prospective cohort study: 225 tumor samples were analyzed by Agilent-022060 SurePrint G3 Human CGH miroarray 4x180K. Log2 Ratio (tumor sample DNA/normal DNA) were compared among none alcohol drinkers, moderate alcohol drinkers, heavy alcohol drinkers, none smokers, moderate smokers, heavy smokers and both. Sample characteristics weres scored as following; Human Papilloma Virus Infection (gene detected by PCR in tumor sample): positive=1; negative=0 p16 protein immunohistochemistry: positive=1; negative=0 tumor grade: matured=0; moderate=1; immature=2 Radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy after operation: performed =1; not performed =0 Recurrence/relapse: rec =1; not rec =0 suvival status:death=1; survive=0 smoking status (Pack year of smoking): none smoker=0; pack-year <20 = 1 (moderate smoker); pack-year <=20 = 2 (heavy smoker) alcohol drinking: Alcohol drinkers were divided into non-drinker or less than one drink per day =0: one and more but less than two drinks per day = moderate drinker 1: two and more drinks per day=heavy drinker 2: during the 20 years preceding their treatment for HNSCC. One drink was defined as containing approximately 10g of alcohol, which is considered equal to 30 ml of hard liquor, 100 ml of wine containing 12% alcohol, or 360 ml of beer.
