Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) sits at the crossroads of adaptive and innate immunities. Nevertheless, the detailed role of BTK activation in hepatic inflammatory disorders is still elusive to date. Accordingly, we investigated the impact of blocking BTK activation by acalabrutinib (ACB) on lipopolysaccharide/galactosamine (LPS/D-GaIN)-induced deleterious manifestations in the liver. This was achieved by pretreating mice with ACB (6, 12 or 24 mg/kg, oral) 2 h before challenge with LPS/D-GaIN (70 μg/kg and 700 mg/kg, respectively, i.p.) for 6 h. The results showed that ACB (6 and 12 mg/kg) (i) curbed LPS/D-GaIN-induced rise in biochemical (serum ALT, AST and LDH) and histological (necrosis, degeneration and congestion scores) indices of hepatocellular injury; (ii) attenuated LPS/D-GaIN-induced elevation in parameters of hepatocellular apoptosis (cleaved caspase 3) and proliferation (PCNA); and (iii) importantly, mitigated LPS/D-GaIN-induced recruitment and infiltration of the inflammatory cells to the liver evidenced by lowering elevated serum MCP-1 concentration and hepatic F4/80 immunostaining. These effects were linked to ACB dose-dependent inhibition of NF-κB nuclear translocation that subsequently reduced LPS/D-GaIN-mediated release of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-22 in the blood circulation. However, a dose of 12 mg/kg of ACB elevated the hepatic TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-22 concentrations that arose from a compensatory activation of ERK and JNK. Inhibition of BTK also attenuated LPS/D-GaIN-induced overexpression of CD98, which is another contributor alongside cytokines for monocyte recruitment. Therapeutically, targeting BTK by ACB is an efficient approach for hitting multiple points with one agent that can dampen hepatocellular injury, death, immune cell recruitment and inflammation cascade.
