MicroRNA 181b‐3p and its target importin α5 regulate toll‐like receptor 4 signaling in Kupffer cells and liver injury in mice in response to ethanol

Paramananda Saikia, Damien Bellos, Megan R. McMullen, Katherine A. Pollard, Carol de la Motte, Laura E. Nagy – 3 March 2017 – Increased inflammatory signaling by Kupffer cells contributes to alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Here we investigated the impact of small, specific‐sized hyaluronic acid of 35 kD (HA35) on ethanol‐induced sensitization of Kupffer cells, as well as ethanol‐induced liver injury in mice. Unbiased analysis of microRNA (miRNA) expression in Kupffer cells identified miRNAs regulated by both ethanol and HA35.
