项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alcoholic hepatitis is a syndrome characterized by rapid onset of jaundice, liver failure and the key features of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Patients with severe episodes of alcoholic hepatitis have a mortality rate as high as 40-50% 1 month after presentation. The treatment of acute alcoholic hepatitis is a clinical challenge because a) it is difficult to differentiate it from spontaneous decompensation of alcoholic cirrhosis and b) the limited treatment options have variable and unpredictable efficacy. Furthermore, currently- available treatments for alcoholic hepatitis patients with corticosteroids or pentoxifylline provide only about 50% survival benefit. Hence, there is an unmet need of a biomarker for diagnosis of alcoholic hepatitis and predicting its responsiveness to treatment with corticosteroids. Basic research into the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease using animal models has identified a number of contributory factors including inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and a severe oxidative/nitrative stress. An intrinsic characteristic of pathologies associated with inflammation and metabolic dysfunction is the suppression of the cellular bioenergetics to below the threshold that induces cell death. In this proposal, we will use a novel methodology to assess cellular bioenergetics in the leukocytes isolated from patient's blood and test the hypothesis that this can serve as a biomarker of the severity of alcoholic liver disease. This project builds on the expertise of the PIs in managing alcoholic liver disease patients, biostatistics and the evaluation of mitochondrial dysfunction in disease. We have found that a) bioenergetic health can be defined by an analysis of cellular bioenergetics in blood leukocytes that can be isolated from 20 ml of human blood, b) monocytes show a rapidly developing decrease in bioenergetic health in patients with alcoholic liver disease, and c) the oxidative burs in neutrophils and monocytes can be readily assessed in the same sample and is depressed in alcoholic patients. In this application we will test the hypothesis that alcoholic liver disease patients with severe cellular bioenergetic defects and low oxidative burst activity detectable in monocytes and neutrophils will progress more rapidly to liver failure and be unresponsive to corticosteroid treatment.

描述(由申请人提供)：酒精性肝炎是一种以黄疸、肝功能衰竭和全身性炎症反应综合征为主要特征的综合征。重度酒精性肝炎患者发病后1个月死亡率高达40%-50%。急性酒精性肝炎的治疗是一个临床挑战，因为a)很难将其与酒精性肝硬变的自发性失代偿区分开来，b)有限的治疗方案具有可变和不可预测的疗效。此外，目前使用皮质类固醇或己酮可可碱对酒精性肝炎患者的治疗只能提供大约50%的生存益处。因此，对于诊断酒精性肝炎和预测其对皮质类固醇治疗反应的生物标记物的需求尚未得到满足。利用动物模型对酒精性肝病的发病机制进行的基础研究已经确定了许多促成因素，包括炎症、线粒体功能障碍和严重的氧化/硝化应激。与炎症和代谢功能障碍相关的病理学的一个固有特征是细胞生物能量学被抑制到导致细胞死亡的阈值以下。在这个提案中，我们将使用一部小说评估从患者血液中分离的白细胞中的细胞生物能量学，并检验这可以作为酒精性肝病严重程度的生物标记物的假设。这个项目基于PIS在管理酒精性肝病患者、生物统计和评估疾病中线粒体功能障碍方面的专业知识。我们发现，a)生物能量健康可以通过分析从20毫升人类血液中分离的血液白细胞中的细胞生物能量学来定义，b)单核细胞在酒精性肝病患者中显示出生物能量健康迅速发展的下降，以及c)中性粒细胞和单核细胞中的氧化毛刺可以很容易地在同一样本中被评估，并在酒精患者中被抑制。在这项应用中，我们将测试假设，酒精性肝病患者具有严重的细胞生物能量缺陷和低氧化爆发活性，可在单核细胞和中性粒细胞中检测到，他们将更快地进展为肝功能衰竭，对皮质类固醇治疗无效。
