This study tested the hypothesis that prolonged consumption of alcohol directly or indirectly, through endotoxin influx in the circulation, stimulates the Kupffer cells to produce macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP(2)) and up-regulates the expression of adhesion molecules, i.e., CD18 on PMNs and its counter-receptor, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), on hepatic cells, As a result, enhanced sequestration and cell-cell interaction among these cell types may occur in the liver, which in turn could result in altered hepatic function and hepatotoxicity, This hypothesis was tested in alcohol-fed, specific pathogen-free, male Sprague-Dawley rats, After 16 weeks of feeding, endotoxin (0.2 +/- 0.043 EU/mL) and MIP(2) (625 +/- 100 pg/mL) were detected in the sera of alcoholic rats but not in the pair-fed rats, Concomitantly, serum aspartate transaminase (AST) activity was significantly increased, Small lipid deposition and inflammatory-like changes in the liver were also observed, Isolated Kupffer cells from alcohol-fed rats released large amount of MIP(2) (>600 pg/10(6) Kupffer cells/24 hr) in vitro compared with Kupffer cells from pair-fed rats (
