Treatment of cholestatic fibrosis by altering gene expression of Cthrc1: Implications for autoimmune and non-autoimmune liver disease
详细信息    查看全文
文摘

A major unmet need in autoimmunity and cholestatic liver disease is the prevention and treatment of fibrosis.

Knocking in/knockout out the Cthrc1 gene significantly modulates cholestatic fibrosis in two murine models.

The mechanism of Cthrc1 gene expression and its effect on fibrosis is by TGF-尾1 via phospho-Smad3 binding.

Cthrc1 inhibits TGF-尾 signaling through a proteosomal pathway.

Use of truncated fragments of Cthrc1 may serve as a model to further understand fibrosis, but also as a therapeutic tool.
