Novel therapeutic targets for cholestatic and fatty liver disease

Michael Trauner et al.

Summary: Cholestatic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease have shared pathophysiological mechanisms that can be targeted for intervention through novel therapeutic concepts. Nuclear receptors play a crucial role in the treatment of these diseases, with high affinity therapeutic ligands being developed for specific or multiple isoforms. In addition, other therapeutic approaches targeting inflammation and fibrosis directly are also available. Combination strategies that target metabolic disturbances, inflammation, and fibrosis may be necessary for successful treatment of these complex disorders.

Summary: Nuclear receptors are transcription factors that regulate metabolic genes by transducing hormonal, nutrient, metabolite, and redox signals. They play a central role in the transcriptional control of energy metabolism and maintain cellular energy homeostasis by adapting gene expression to changing energetic demands. Nuclear receptors must cooperate with other factors, integrate signals from key metabolic pathways, and synchronize their activities with the biological clock to orchestrate a large ensemble of input signals.

Therapeutic aspects of bile acid signalling in the gut-liver axis

Benedikt Simbrunner et al.

Summary: Bile acids play a crucial role in maintaining bile acid homeostasis and regulating the development of liver diseases through the gut-liver axis. The nuclear bile acid farnesoid X receptor (FXR) has emerged as a key therapeutic target in bile acid signalling pathways. Experimental evidence suggests that bile acid signalling can improve the intestinal barrier and protect against bacterial translocation in cirrhosis, showing efficacy in cholestatic and metabolic liver diseases. However, further research is needed to demonstrate similar effects in advanced liver disease, particularly in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.

Summary: FXR agonists are used to treat NAFLD by controlling hepatic lipid absorption and fatty acid synthesis, specifically reducing levels of MUFA and PUFA in the liver. This reduction is mediated by repression of specific genes and is independent of other regulatory factors like SHP and SREBP1c. Additionally, tissue-specific FXR KO mice studies show that hepatic FXR controls lipogenic genes while intestinal FXR controls lipid absorption.
