  • These results suggest that a major part of the proteinous chemotactic factors released from hepatocytes exposed to ethanol could be a dimer form of interleukin-8, one of the proinflammatory cytokines, possibly contributing to the pathogenesis of alcoholic hepatitis [22].
  • After lipopolysaccharide stimulation, mean monocyte tumor necrosis factor release from alcoholic hepatitis patients was significantly increased to over twice that of healthy controls (25.3 +/- 3.7 vs. 10.9 +/- 2.4 units per ml, p less than 0.005) [23].
  • As expected, normal livers showed CYP2E1 immunostaining confined to a rim, two to three cells thick, around terminal hepatic venule, while livers from alcoholic hepatitis patients showed increased CYP2E1 staining [24].
  • The ICAM-1/LFA-1 pathway may therefore be involved in leukocyte mediated tissue damage during alcoholic hepatitis [25].
  • CONCLUSION: Severe alcoholic hepatitis appears to be associated with polymorphonuclear neutrophil activation and an imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines; during steroid therapy a normalization of these parameters was observed [26].
