Abstract
Oxidative stress and cellular injury have been implicated in induction of HSP72 by alcohol We investigated the association between HSP72 induction and oxidative stress in mouse tissues following shortterm administration of high doses of alcohol and caffeine alone or in combination Adult male C57BL/6J mice were gavaged with vehicle alcohol ∼17 g/kg/day caffeine ∼44 mg/kg/day or alcohol plus caffeine once daily for ten consecutive days Upon completion of the treatments tissues were collected for structural and biochemical analyses Alcohol alone caused mild to moderate lesions in heart liver and gastrocnemius muscle Similar structural changes were observed following administration of alcohol and caffeine combined Alcohol administration also led to decreased glutathione levels in all three tissues and reduced plasma superoxide dismutase capacity In contrast alcohol and caffeine in combination reduced glutathione levels only in liver and gastrocnemius muscle and had no effect on plasma superoxide dismutase Significant elevations in HSP72 protein and mRNA and in HSF1 protein levels were noted only in liver by alcohol alone or in combination with caffeine No significant changes in morphology and HSP72 were detected in any tissues tested following administration of caffeine alone These results suggest that a redox mechanism is involved in the structural impairment caused by shortterm highdose alcohol Oxidative tissue injury by alcohol may not be associated with tissue HSP72 induction Induction of HSP72 in liver by alcohol is mediated at both the transcriptional and translational levelsWe consulted Dr Cara Olsen Department of Preventive Medicine and Biometrics Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences USUHS for statistical analysis This work was supported by USUHS Grant R091EH and the Office of Naval Research Grant N0001411MP20025
