Sensitization of hepatic immune cells from chronic alcohol consumption gives rise to inflammatory accumulation, which is considered a leading cause of liver damage. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are an immunosuppressive cell subset that plays an important role in a variety of liver diseases; however, data about pathological involvement of Tregs in liver steatosis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is insufficient. In mouse models of ALD, we found that increased lipid accumulation by chronic alcohol intake was accompanied by oxidative stress, inflammatory accumulation, and Treg decline in the liver. Adoptive transfer of Tregs relieved lipid metabolic disorder, oxidative stress, inflammation, and, consequently, ameliorated the alcoholic fatty liver. Macrophages are a dominant source of inflammation in ALD. Aberrant macrophage activation and cytokine production were activated during chronic alcohol consumption, but were significantly inhibited after Treg transfer. In vitro, macrophages were co-activated by alcohol and lipopolysaccharide to mimic a condition for alcoholic liver microenvironment. Tregs suppressed monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and TNF-α production from these macrophages. However, such effects of Tregs were remarkably neutralized when interleukin (IL)-10 was blocked. Altogether, our data uncover a novel role of Tregs in restoring liver lipid metabolism in ALD, which partially relies on IL-10-mediated suppression of hepatic pro-inflammatory macrophages.
