NAFLD | ALD | |
---|---|---|
Monocytes | - Differentiation into tissue resident macrophages - Differentiation in DC |
- Differentiation into tissue resident macrophages - Differentiation in DC |
Macrophages/KC | - M1 enhancement - Imbalance of lipogenesis - Increased LPS/TLR4-mediated signaling - Increased TNF-α, IL-1β, IFN-γ, IL-6 - Fibrosis stimulation |
- M1 enhancement - Increased LPS/TLR4-mediated signaling - Increased TNF-α, IL-1β, ROS |
DC | - Altered CD8/CD4 ratio - Decreased Treg infiltration - Increased inflammation |
- Increased cytokine secretion via TLRs - Increased TNF-α, IFN-γ |
Neutrophils | - Liver infiltration - Progression to steatohepatitis (MPO) |
- Liver infiltration - Increased TNF-α |
Eosinophils | - Increased Th2-type cytokines - Increased M2 polarization |
- Increased Th2-type cytokines - Increased M2 polarization |
