NADPH OXIDASE-GENERATED REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES ARE INVOLVED IN ESTRADIOL 17 ß-d-GLUCURONIDE-INDUCED CHOLESTASIS
Biochimie. 2024 Apr 10:S0300-9084(24)00077-4. doi: 10.1016/j.biochi.2024.04.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe endogenous metabolite of estradiol, estradiol 17β-D-glucuronide (E17G), is considered the main responsible of the intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. E17G alters the activity of canalicular transporters through a signaling pathway-dependent cellular internalization, phenomenon that was attributed to oxidative stress in different cholestatic conditions. However, there are no reports involving oxidative stress in E17G-induced cholestasis, representing this the aim of our work. Using polarized hepatocyte cult...

Role of the microbiota-gut-heart axis between bile acids and cardiovascular disease
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Apr 6;174:116567. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116567. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBile acid (BA) receptors (e.g., farnesoid X-activated receptor, muscarinic receptor) are expressed in cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells, indicating the relevance of BAs to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Hydrophobic BAs are cardiotoxic, while hydrophilic BAs are cardioprotective. For example, fetal cardiac insufficiency in maternal intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy, and the degree of fetal cardiac abnormality, is closely related to the level of hydrophobic BAs in maternal bloo...

Emerging drugs for the treatment of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis: a focus on phase II and III trials
Expert Opin Emerg Drugs. 2024 Apr 4. doi: 10.1080/14728214.2024.2336986. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a group of disorders characterized by inappropriate bile formation, causing hepatic accumulation of bile acids and, subsequently, liver injury. Until recently, no approved treatments were available for these patients.AREAS COVERED: Recent clinical trials for PFIC treatment have focused on intestine-restricted ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitors. These compounds aim to reduce the pool size of bile acids by interrupting their enterohepatic circu...
