Chronic Ethanol Consumption Modulates Growth Factor Release, Mucosal Cytokine Production, and MicroRNA Expression in Nonhuman Primates

Abstract: BACKGROUND Chronic alcohol consumption has been associated with enhanced susceptibility to both systemic and mucosal infections. However, the exact mechanisms underlying this enhanced susceptibility remain incompletely understood. METHODS Using a nonhuman primate model of ethanol self-administration, we examined the impact of chronic alcohol exposure on immune homeostasis, cytokine and growth factor production in peripheral blood, lung and intestinal mucosa following twelve months of chronic ethanol exposure… Show more

“…STAT3 has a role in regulating synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system (Nicolas et al, 2013). Notably, reduced expression of STAT3 has been shown in peripheral blood of non-human primates following chronic ethanol consumption (Asquith et al, 2014). The overlap of the region of interest with TF binding sites suggests a potential mechanism by which methylation may influence alcohol use.…”

“…The reduced production of growth factors in this nonhuman primate model of ethanol self-administration was due to increased expression of microRNA miR-181 and miR-221, which led to reduced expression of the transcription factors, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) (Asquith, Pasala et al 2013). …”

“…Finally, in a nonhuman primate model of ethanol self-administration (Grant et al 2008), PMA-induced production of the growth factors hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and vascular-endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from male and female rhesus macaques after 12 months of chronic ethanol exposure were inhibited (Asquith, Pasala et al 2013). The reduced production of growth factors in this nonhuman primate model of ethanol self-administration was due to increased expression of microRNA miR-181 and miR-221, which led to reduced expression of the transcription factors, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) (Asquith, Pasala et al 2013).…”

“…The concentration of each cytokine/chemokine was determined from a standard curve derived from either a human or a rhesus recombinant protein and therefore represents an estimate of the cytokine/chemokine concentration in each sample. All of the MAbs used in this assay are cross-reactive with RM cytokines/chemokines, as reported earlier (5,(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). The multiplex plate was read with a Bio-Plex 200 suspension array Luminex system (Bio-Rad) as reported previously (5,35).…”
