This study demonstrates that compounds in baijiu, a traditional Chinese alcoholic beverage, can attenuate the development of ethanol-induced liver injury by regulating the crosstalk between gut microbiota and host lipid metabolism.

Over the last four decades, chronic ethanol feeding studies in rodents using either ad libitum feeding or intragastric infusion models have significantly enhanced our understanding of the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Recently, we developed a chronic plus binge alcohol feeding model in mice that is similar to the drinking patterns of many alcoholic hepatitis patients: a history of chronic drinking and recent excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic+binge ethanol feeding synergistically induced steatosis, liver injury, and neutrophil infiltration in mice, which may be useful for the study of early alcoholic liver injury and inflammation. Using this chronic+binge model, researchers have begun to identify novel mechanisms that participate in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver injury, thereby revealing novel therapeutic targets. In this review article, we briefly discuss several mouse models of ALD with a focus on the chronic+binge ethanol feeding model.

AbstractAlcoholic beverages which are consumed widely in most parts of the world have long been identified as a major risk factor for all liver diseases, particularly alcohol-induced liver disease (ALD). Recent compositional analyses suggest that Chinese Baijiu (CB), a clear alcoholic liquid distilled from fermented grains, contains large amounts of small molecule bioactive compounds in addition to a significant amount of ethanol. Here, in an experimental mouse model, we show that CB caused lower degrees of liver injury than pure ethanol by protecting against the decrease of the relative abundance of Akkermansia and increased relative abundance of Prevotella in the gut thereby preventing the destruction of the intestinal barrier. Furthermore, we demonstrated that ethanol-induced alteration of the gut microbiota profoundly affected the host metabolome. Compared with ethanol feeding, CB feeding resulted in higher concentrations of functional saturated LCFAs and SCFAs. Our results provide supporting evidence that ALD was profoundly influenced by host-gut microbiota metabolic interactions and that small molecule organic compounds in CB could attenuate ALD.
