The role of NADPH oxidase 1 in alcohol-induced oxidative stress injury of intestinal epithelial cells.

ABSTRACT: Alcohol-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a vital role in intestinal barrier injury. However, the mechanism of ROS accumulation in enterocytes needs to be explored further. In our study, we found that chronic-binge ethanol-fed mice had increased levels of gut oxidative stress and high intestinal permeability. The transcription profiles of the colonic epithelial cells showed that the level of NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1) was significantly elevated in alcohol-exposed mice compared with isocaloric-exposed mice. In vitro, NOX1 silencing alleviated ROS accumulation and the apoptosis of human colonic epithelial cells (NCM460), while NOX1 overexpression accelerated oxidative stress injury of NCM460 cells. Propionic acid was reduced in the gut of chronic-binge ethanol-fed mice, compared with i
