| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The original research goal was to reveal mechanisms underlying individual difference of reactivity to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or bezafibrate treatment in Japanese patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). In the study, genetic polymorphisms of CYP7A1, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in the classical bile acid synthetic pathway, as well as of PGC-1α, which is a transcriptional inducer of CYP7A1, were not associated with UDCA response of PBC patients. Reporter gene assay demonstrated that bezafibrate does not affect neither activity of CYP7A1 promoter nor function of the promoter SNP of CYP7A1. On the other hand, rs8192678 that is a missense variant of PGC-1α was shown to be involved in hepatic CYP7A1 activity in a healthy Japanese.
