Formulating elafibranor and obeticholic acid with phospholipids decreases drug-induced association of SPARC to extracellular vesicles from LX-2 human hepatic stellate cells

Cristina Zivko et al.

Summary: Chronic hepatic diseases are a major cause of death worldwide, but there is currently no effective treatment. Recent research has shown that combining experimental drugs Elafibranor (Ela) and Obeticholic acid (OA) with PPC-rich liposomes can mitigate their damaging effects on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). EV analysis provides a deeper evaluation of drug performance and delivery strategies.

Oral targeted delivery of Imatinib by pH responsive copolymer modulates liver fibrosis in the mice model

Samaneh Siapoush et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed pH-sensitive polymer-based nanoparticles for targeted delivery of Imatinib in the treatment of liver fibrosis. The use of Vitamin A-modified Imatinib-loaded nanoparticles showed efficient drug release in the intestine and preferential accumulation in the liver. This targeted nanoparticle delivery significantly reduced liver damage and fibrosis marker gene expression.

Obeticholic Acid Impact on Quality of Life in Patients With Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: REGENERATE 18-Month Interim Analysis

Zobair M. Younossi et al.

Summary: This study assessed the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and found that treatment with obeticholic acid (OCA) significantly improved fibrosis in these patients. The study also showed that OCA therapy initially caused mild pruritus, but did not worsen over time.

Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells: The regenerative impact in liver diseases

Adriana Psaraki et al.

Summary: Liver dysfunctions are often treated with liver transplantation, but a new concept in therapy involves using extracellular vesicles secreted by mesenchymal stem cells to overcome limitations and promote liver repair. Studies have shown that these vesicles have the potential to ameliorate systemic inflammation and positively impact various pathways associated with liver diseases.

Hepatic stellate cells in the injured liver: Perspectives beyond hepatic fibrosis

Devaraj Ezhilarasan

Summary: The understanding of the pathological role of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in liver diseases has significantly increased over the past two decades, with a focus not only on liver fibrosis but also on conditions like cholestasis, portal hypertension, and liver cancer progression. Activated HSCs play a critical role in secreting extracellular matrix products and impacting the tumor microenvironment, leading to tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, and immune suppression. The activation of HSCs in the damaged liver is a crucial process involved in the development of cholestasis, portal hypertension, and liver cancer.

Non-invasive evaluation of response to obeticholic acid in patients with NASH: Results from the REGENERATE study

Mary E. Rinella et al.

Summary: Non-invasive tests (NITs) have potential applications in evaluating fibrosis and treatment response in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Treatment with obeticholic acid (OCA) can lead to reduced levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyltransferase, as well as improvements in Fibrosis-4, FibroTest, FibroMeter, and FibroScan-AST scores.

The Molecular Mechanisms of Liver Fibrosis and Its Potential Therapy in Application

Danyan Zhang et al.

Summary: Liver fibrosis is a disease caused by repeated and persistent liver damage. While antiviral therapy has shown progress in preventing or reversing liver fibrosis, there is still a lack of effective treatments for other types of liver diseases. Combination treatments and targeted drug delivery systems are potential solutions to this problem.

In vitro evaluation of ferutinin on proliferation and osteogenesis differentiation in human unrestricted Somatic stem cells

Zahra Mahmoudi et al.

Summary: The study showed that ferutinin has a positive impact on the proliferation and osteogenesis of USSCs, promoting ALP activity and calcium deposition, as well as increasing the expression of bone marker genes. Ferutinin may be considered as a potential candidate for stem cell therapy in osteoporosis treatment, with its effects similar to synthetic estrogen.
