Abstract

Background

Deregulation of immune response and oxidative stress contribute to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) pathogenesis. Resistin is a physiological modulator of inflammation and redox homeostasis of different cell types. Increased resistin serum concentration and the direct association between resistin hepatic expression and NAFLD severity suggest that resistin participates in NAFLD pathogenesis.

Aims

To evaluate resistin-induced regulation of redox homeostasis in mononuclear leukocytes from NAFLD patients and controls.

Methods

We evaluated basal and resistin-mediated modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione content by flow cytometry, and antioxidant enzyme activities by spectrophotometry.

Results

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from NAFLD patients showed higher ROS content and glutathione peroxidase activity and lower glutathione content, superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase activities than control PBMC. Resistin decreased ROS levels and superoxide dismutase activity and increased glutathione reductase and catalase activities in PBMC from controls but not from patients. Resistin decreased glutathione content in PBMC from control and NAFLD patients, with greater effect on patient cells. Basal and resistin-modulated ROS levels were directly associated with obesity-related risk factors for NAFLD. Hepatic myeloid cells and T-lymphocytes from NAFLD patients showed higher basal ROS content than cells from controls. Resistin decreased ROS levels in hepatic T-lymphocytes from controls but not from patients.

Conclusions

Resistin regulates redox homeostasis in mononuclear leukocytes. A decreased response to resistin in leukocytes from NAFLD patients is associated with an impaired redox homeostasis.
