摘要
肝X受体(liver X receptor, LXR)具有典型的核受体结构,包含LXRα(NR1H3)和LXRβ(NR1H2)两种同源亚型。作为一种多功能的转录因子,LXRα可诱导参与胆固醇逆转运、肝糖原代谢以及脂肪酸合成的基因表达,且能抑制一系列炎症反应。LXR特别是LXRα不仅在肝纤维化进程中异常低表达,而且在病毒性肝炎、酒精性和非酒精性脂肪肝等形成的肝纤维化疾病中均发挥了一定的作用,提示LXRα与肝纤维化有密切关系。因此,本文就LXR在肝纤维化中发挥的调节作用展开综述。
Abstract
Liver X receptor(LXR) includes two homologous subtypes, LXRα(NR1H3) and LXRβ(NR1H2),which has a typical structure belonging to nuclear receptors. As a multifunctional transcription factor, LXRαcan not only induce gene expression involved in reverse cholesterol transport, hepatic glycogen metabolism,and fatty acid synthesis, but also inhibit a range of inflammatory responses. In recent years, LXR, especially LXRα, can be found expressed lower during liver fibrosis. Furthermore, it is important for LXRα to attend in liver fibrosis originating from viral hepatitis, alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver, and so on. All above suggest that there are close relationship between LXRα and liver fibrosis. Therefore, this work will briefly introduce about the regulatory role of LXR in liver fibrosis.
