Bile acid receptor activation modulates hepatic monocyte activity and improves nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TLDR
Treatment of a murine model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with a dual FXR/TGR5 agonist decreased intrahepatic inflammation and altered the immune phenotype of monocytes and macrophages, indicating potential targeting strategies for treatment of NAFLD.

Bile acid-microbiota crosstalk in gastrointestinal inflammation and carcinogenesis.

TL;DR: The mechanistic links between bile acids and gastrointestinal carcinogenesis in CRC and HCC are discussed, which involve two major bile acid-sensing receptors, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and G protein-coupled bile Acid receptor 1 (TGR5).

Bile Acid Signaling in Metabolic Disease and Drug Therapy

TL;DR: An interaction of liver bile acids and gut microbiota in the regulation of liver metabolism and potential therapeutic agents for treating metabolic diseases of the liver are revealed.

The role of macrophages in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

TL;DR: Experimental and clinical data support a central role for macrophages in the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and studies investigating drugs that target macrophage recruitment to the liver, Macrophage polarization and their inflammatory effects as potential treatment options for patients with NASH are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current and future pharmacological therapies for NAFLD/NASH

TL;DR: Among a variety of medications in development, four agents such as OCA, elafibranor, ASK1 inhibitor, and CVC are currently being evaluated in an international phase 3 trial for the treatment of NASH.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method

TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alternative activation of macrophages

TL;DR: The evidence in favour of alternative macrophage activation by the TH2-type cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-13 is assessed, and its limits and relevance to a range of immune and inflammatory conditions are defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with an increased risk of all-cause death, probably because of complications of insulin resistance such as vascular disease, as well as due to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, which occurs in a minority of patients.

Obesity induces a phenotypic switch in adipose tissue macrophage polarization

TL;DR: Diet-induced obesity leads to a shift in the activation state of ATMs from an M2-polarized state in lean animals that may protect adipocytes from inflammation to an M1 proinflammatory state that contributes to insulin resistance.
