Excessive alcohol intake causes an increase in intestinal permeability that induces translocation of gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to the portal vein. Increased LPS in the portal vein stimulates Kupffer cells through Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 in the liver. Activated TLR4 signaling in Kupffer cells induces various inflammatory mediators including TNF-α, IL-1β and reactive oxygen species, resulting in liver injury. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) also express TLR4. This study investigates whether TLR4 on bone marrow (BM)-derived cells, including Kupffer cells, or non-BM-derived endogenous liver cells, including HSCs, contributes to the progression of alcohol-induced steatohepatitis and fibrogenesis in mice. TLR4 BM chimera (wild type (WT) mice with TLR4-/- BM or TLR4-/- mice with WT BM) were generated by the combination of liposomal clodronate injection with whole body irradiation and BM transplantation (BMT), followed by treatment with intragastric alcohol feeding. WT mice transplanted with WT BM exhibited liver injury, steatosis, inflammation and a fibrogenic response. Conversely, TLR4-/- mice with TLR4-/- BM displayed less steatosis, liver injury and inflammation. Notably, steatosis, macrophage infiltration and ALT levels in both TLR4 chimeric mice showed intermediate levels between WT mice transplanted with WT BM and TLR4-/- mice transplanted with TLR4-/- BM. Hepatic mRNA expression of fibrogenic markers (collagen α1(I), TIMP1, TGF-β1) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6) were markedly increased in WT mice with WT BM, but there was less of an increase in both TLR4-chimeric mice and in TLR4-/- mice transplanted with TLR4-/- BM. TLR4 signaling in both BM-derived and non-BM-derived liver cells is required for liver steatosis, inflammation, and a fibrogenic response after chronic alcohol treatment.
