Objective To investigate the effect of butyrate on monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs) and plasma inflammatory cytokines in mice with alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Methods Sixty female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: negative control group, ALD model group, sodium butyrate (NaB)-treated control group and NaB-treated ALD model group. The control groups were fed with ethanol-free modified Lieber-DeCarli liquid diets, while the model groups were fed with ethanol-containing modified Lieber-DeCarli liquid diets. Meanwhile, mice in the NaB-treated groups were given a liquid diet containing NaB (0.6 g/kg). After 6 weeks of feeding, the proportions of M-MDSCs in the peripheral blood, liver and spleen cells were detected by flow cytometry. Concentrations of plasma inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin -10 (IL-10) were determined by cytometric bead array (CBA). The correlation between the proportion of M-MDSCs and plasma inflammatory cytokines were analyzed. Results Compared with negative control group, the proportions of M-MDSCs of the peripheral blood, liver and spleen cells in ALD model group increased significantly; plasma TNF-α level also dramatically increased; plasma IL-10 concentration, however, decreased considerably. In contrast, compared to ALD model group, the proportions of M-MDSCs of the peripheral blood, liver and spleen cells in NaB-treated ALD model group significantly increased. The level of plasma TNF-α decreased and plasam IL-10 concentration increased after NaB treatment. Moreover, the proportions of M-MDSCs in peripheral blood, liver and spleen were negatively correlated with TNF-α and positively correlated with IL-10. Conclusion NaB may alleviate the progression of ALD by involving M-MDSCs in the peripheral blood, liver, spleen and suppressing inflammation in mice.
目的 探讨丁酸盐对酒精性肝病(ALD)小鼠单核细胞来源的髓系抑制细胞(M-MDSCs)及血浆炎症细胞因子的影响。方法 将60只雌性C57BL/6J小鼠随机分为4组:阴性对照组、ALD模型组、丁酸钠(NaB)处理对照组和NaB处理ALD模型组。对照组给予不含乙醇的改良Lieber-DeCarli液体饲料,而模型组给予含乙醇的改良Lieber-DeCarli液体饲料。同时,NaB处理组的小鼠给予含NaB(0.6 g/kg)的液体饲料。喂养6周后,通过流式细胞术检测外周血、肝脏和脾脏细胞中M-MDSCs的比例。采用细胞计数珠阵列(CBA)测定血浆炎症细胞因子包括肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和白细胞介素-10(IL-10)的浓度。分析M-MDSCs比例与血浆炎症细胞因子之间的相关性。结果 与阴性对照组相比,ALD模型组外周血、肝脏和脾脏细胞中M-MDSCs的比例显著增加;血浆TNF-α水平也显著升高;然而,血浆IL-10浓度显著降低。相比之下,与ALD模型组相比,NaB处理的ALD模型组外周血、肝脏和脾脏细胞中M-MDSCs的比例显著增加。NaB处理后血浆TNF-α水平降低,血浆IL-10浓度升高。此外,外周血、肝脏和脾脏中M-MDSCs的比例与TNF-α呈负相关,与IL-10呈正相关。结论 NaB可能通过参与外周血、肝脏、脾脏中的M-MDSCs并抑制小鼠炎症来减轻ALD的进展。
