In experiments on rodents and in the study of postmortem brain samples of people suffering from alcoholism, it was shown that ethanol increases the expression of Toll-like receptors in the brain, which persists for a long time. Toll-like receptors are known to be also involved in the development of autoimmune reactions. In the present study the expression of Toll-like receptors in hippocampus, amygdala, and medial entorhinal cortex of rats during prolonged alcoholization and alcohol withdrawal was assessed. In the group of prolonged alcoholization with 20% ethanol for 1 month there was no change in Toll-like receptors mRNA levels in the studied rat brain structures, except for a slight decrease in Toll-like receptor 3 mRNA levels in the hippocampus of alcoholized rats and its slight increase in medial entorhinal cortex. However, Toll-like receptors gene expression undergoes changes in all rat brain structures studied during alcohol withdrawal.
