Targeting bile acids and lipotoxicity for NASH treatment
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease, affecting approximately 20%-30% of the population in Western countries. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the progressive form of NAFLD that can develop into cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the underlying mechanism of progression of steatosis to NASH and cirrhosis is poorly understood....
متن کاملAdenosine A(2a) receptor stimulation prevents hepatocyte lipotoxicity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in rats.
NEFA (non-esterified 'free' fatty acid)-mediated lipotoxicity plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis). In the light of the growing need for new therapeutic options for NASH, we investigated the action of A2aR (adenosine A(2a) receptor) stimulation against lipotoxicity. The effects of the A(2a)R agonist CGS21680 [2-p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino-5'-N-e...
متن کاملHepatic FTO expression is increased in NASH and its silencing attenuates palmitic acid-induced lipotoxicity.
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is one of the most common causes of liver failure worldwide. It is characterized by excess fat accumulation, inflammation, and increased lipotoxicity in hepatocytes. Currently, there are limited treatment options for NASH due to lack of understanding of its molecular etiology. In the present study, we demonstrate that the expression of fat mass and obesity a...
متن کاملLipotoxicity in the heart.
Cardiomyopathy is associated with both rare genetic metabolic abnormalities and highly prevalent diseases characterized by elevated serum triglycerides and nonesterified fatty acids, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. In these disorders, an imbalance between fatty acid uptake and utilization leads to the inappropriate accumulation of free fatty acids and neutral lipids within cardiomyocytes. ...
متن کاملGlutamine Modulates Macrophage Lipotoxicity
Obesity and diabetes are associated with excessive inflammation and impaired wound healing. Increasing evidence suggests that macrophage dysfunction is responsible for these inflammatory defects. In the setting of excess nutrients, particularly dietary saturated fatty acids (SFAs), activated macrophages develop lysosome dysfunction, which triggers activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and cell d...
