Summary of the impairment of myeloid-derived cells in NAFLD and ALD.

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

NAFLD, Non-alcoholic liver disease; ALD, alcoholic liver disease; DC, dendritic cells; IFN, interferon; IL, interleukin; KC, Kupffer cells; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; ROS, reactive oxygen species; Th2, T helper 2; TLR, Toll-like receptor; TNF, tumor necrosis factor; Treg, T regulatory cell; MPO, myeloperoxidase.
