We recently identified a homeostatic pathway that inhibits ethanol intake. This protective pathway consists of the scaffolding protein RACK1 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). RACK1 translocates to the nucleus after exposure of neurons to ethanol and increases expression of BDNF (McGough et al., 2004). We also found that increasing the levels of BDNF via systemic administration of RA...
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine whether activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a key epileptogenic mechanism in the development of alcohol-related seizure. MATERIAL AND METHODS C57BL/6 mice were administered 10% ethanol in drinking water for 9 weeks. Video-electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring was then used to assess seizure frequency after alcohol and rapamyc...
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are innate immunity sensors that provide an early/effective response to pathogenic or injury conditions. We have reported that ethanol-induced TLR4 activation triggers signaling inflammatory responses in glial cells, causing neuroinflammation and brain damage. However, it is uncertain if ethanol is able to activate NLRs/inflammasome in as...
Adiponectin, an adipokine predominantly secreted from adipocytes, has been shown to play protective roles against chronic alcohol consumption. Although excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in macrophages is considered one of the critical events for ethanol-induced damage in various target tissues, the effect of adiponectin on ethanol-induced ROS production is not clearly understoo...
The present study was designed to evaluate whether ethanol suppresses survival-signaling pathways in rat testes. Ethanol (1.5 g/kg or 3 g/kg i.p., 15% v/v in saline) was administrated to adult male rats for 10 days. Ethanol treatment significantly increased the number of TUNEL-positive cells in rat testes. Potential activation was measured by phosphorylation of Akt and Erk1/2 using Western blot...
Rachdaoui, Nadia, Becky M. Sebastian, and Laura E. Nagy. Chronic ethanol feeding impairs endothelin-1-stimulated glucose uptake via decreased G 11 expression in rat adipocytes. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 285: E303–E310, 2003. First published April 8, 2003; 10.1152/ajpendo. 00547.2002.—Chronic ethanol feeding decreases insulinstimulated glucose uptake in rat adipocytes. Here, we show that chr...
The current studies were designed to examine the mechanisms of acute effects of ethanol on cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) during neurodevelopment, with specific reference to activator protein-1 (AP-1). CGNs, isolated from 3-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats and cultured for 3 days, were exposed to 0, 22.5, and 100 mM ethanol for 1 h. Gel shift assays performed on the nuclear protein extracts showe...
Alcohol abuse is a leading cause of pancreatitis, accounting for 30% of acute cases and 70-90% of chronic cases, yet the mechanisms leading to alcohol-associated pancreatic injury are unclear. An early and critical feature of pancreatitis is the aberrant signaling of Ca(2+) within the pancreatic acinar cell. An important conductor of this Ca(2+) is the basolaterally localized, intracellular Ca(...
Secretory pathway dysfunction and lipid accumulation (steatosis) are the two most common responses of hepatocytes to ethanol exposure and are major factors in the pathophysiology of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). However, the mechanisms by which ethanol elicits these cellular responses are not fully understood. Recent data indicates that activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in resp...
Chronic ethanol feeding decreases insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in rat adipocytes. Here, we show that chronic ethanol also decreases endothelin-stimulated glucose uptake. Endothelin-1 increased uptake of 2-deoxyglucose 2.4-fold in adipocytes isolated from pair-fed rats. However, in adipocytes isolated from rats that had consumed a diet containing 35% ethanol for 4 wk, endothelin-1 did not i...
