Figure 1 Hepatic C1q and C3b deposition in mice after short-term ethanol. Wild-type and C1qa−/− mice were allowed free access to ethanol-containing diets (4 days/11% ethanol) or pair-fed control diets. Immunoreactive (A) C1q and (B) C3b were visualized by immunohisotochemistry in frozen liver sections. Images are shown at 200× magnification. (C, D) Total number of fluorescent pixels per 200× field was determined using Image Pro software. Values represent mean ± standard error of mean. Pair-fed n = 4, ethanol-fed n = 6. Values with different superscripts are significantly different from each other; (C) P < .047, (D) P < .001.

Figure 2 TUNEL, F4/80, and C1q staining and inflammatory cytokine protein concentration in mouse livers after short-term ethanol feeding. Wild-type and C1qa−/− mice were allowed free access to ethanol-containing diets (4 days/11% ethanol) or pair-fed control diets. (A) TUNEL-positive nuclei and F4/80-positive cells were visualized by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed liver sections. (B) F4/80 and C1q-positive cells were visualized by immunohistochemistry in frozen liver sections. Images are representative of at least 4 mice per group and are shown at 200× magnification. (C, D) Liver lysates were prepared and quantity of IL-6 (C) and TNF-α (D) protein was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Values represent mean ± standard error of mean. Pair-fed n = 4, ethanol-fed n = 6. Values with different superscripts are significantly different from each other, (C) P < .001, (D) P < .003.

Figure 3 Hepatic triglycerides and plasma ALT and AST activity in mice after chronic ethanol feeding. Wild-type and C1qa−/− mice were allowed free access to ethanol-containing diets (25 days/32% ethanol) or pair-fed control diets. (A) Hepatic triglyceride concentrations, and (B) ALT and (C) AST in plasma were measured. Values represent mean ± standard error of mean. Pair-fed n = 8, ethanol-fed n = 12. Values with different superscripts are significantly different from each other; (A) P < .005, (B) P < .03, (C) P < .04.

Wild-type and C1qa−/− mice were allowed free access to ethanol-containing diets (25 days/32% ethanol) or pair-fed control diets. Immunoreactive (A) C1q and (B) C3b were visualized by immunohistochemistry in frozen liver sections. (C, D) Total number of fluorescent pixels per 200× field was determined using Image Pro software.

Figure 5 Markers of apoptosis in livers of mice after chronic ethanol feeding. Wild-type and C1qa−/− mice were allowed free access to ethanol-containing diets (25 days/32% ethanol) or pair-fed control diets. (A) TUNEL-positive nuclei were visualized as in Figure 2. (B) The presence of caspase-generated cleavage fragments of cytokeratin-18 was visualized in formalin-fixed liver sections. Images were shown at 200× magnification. Red arrows point to hepatocytes staining positive for the cytokeratin-18 cleavage product. Images are representative of pair-fed n = 4, ethanol-fed n = 6.

Figure 6 Markers of oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokine expression after chronic ethanol feeding. Wild-type and C1qa−/− mice were allowed free access to ethanol-containing diets (25 days/32% ethanol) or pair-fed control diets. (A) Immunoreactive CYP2E1 protein in liver lysates was assessed by Western blot analysis. Values under the images represent arbitrary units of density for CYP2E1 relative to hsc 70, used as a loading control. (B, C) Immunoreactive 4-HNE adducts were visualized by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed liver sections and fluorescence intensity per 200× field determined using Image Pro. (D) Malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured biochemically using a thiobarbituric acid–reacting substances assay kit. (E, F) IL-6 (E) and TNF-α (F) protein in liver lysates was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Values represent mean ± standard error of mean. Pair-fed n = 4, ethanol-fed n = 6, except in (D) where pair-fed n = 8, ethanol-fed n = 12. Values with different superscripts are significantly different from each other, (C) P < .02, (D) P < .006, (E, F) P < .02.

Supplementary Figure 1 TUNEL-positive cells in mouse livers after short-term ethanol feeding. Wild-type mice were allowed free access to ethanol-containing diets (4 days/11% ethanol) or pair-fed control diets. TUNEL-positive nuclei were visualized by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed liver sections with peroxidase labeling. Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin. Images are representative of at least 3 mice per group. Areas in the red boxes are enlarged. Red arrows point to cells with macrophage-like morphology that are TUNEL-positive and white arrows point to cells with macrophage-like morphology that are TUNEL-negative.
