| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed to investigate the combined effect of FXR agonist and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) on hepatic fibrogenesis in rat model of NASH.The in vitro and in vivo effects of an FXR agonist (INT747 at 30 mg/kg/day) and an ARB (Losartan: 30 mg/kg/day) on hepatic fibrogenesis were evaluated.In PS-administered OLETF rats, INT747 and losartan had potent inhibitory effects on hepatic fibrogenesis with suppression of HSC activation and expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and TLR4. INT747 decreased intestinal permeability by ameliorating zonula occuludens-1 (ZO-1) disruption, whereas losartan directly suppressed the regulation of Ac-HSC. The in vitro and in vivo inhibitory effects of INT747 and losartan on TGF-β1 and TLR4 mRNA expression in Ac-HSC were almost in parallel. Losartan directly inhibited the regulation of Ac-HSC. Combined treatment may represent a promising novel approach for NASH.
