Association of genes involved in bile acid synthesis with the progression of primary biliary cirrhosis in Japanese patients

Abstract: These results suggested that the genetic variants of CYP7A1 and its transcriptional activators (HNF4A and PPARGC1A) may activate bile acid synthesis, resulting in the accumulation of bile acids in hepatocytes and eventually leading to the predisposition to PBC progression. Thus, the regulation of CYP7A1 expression may represent an attractive therapeutic target for cholestatic liver diseases including PBC.

“…In order to better characterize practical and robust surrogate markers for predicting long-term outcomes and to better understand the mechanisms underlying disease progression in PBC, a prospective cohort study of biochemical response and genetic approaches including genome-wide association study is currently underway.

“…CYP7A1 genetic variants have been associated with defects in cholesterol and bile acid homeostasis [71]. Some of the variants are associated with higher susceptibility to cholesterol or bile acid-related human diseases, including gallbladder stone disease [72, 73], coronary artery disease [74], and biliary cirrhosis [75]. A SNP (rs3808607) in the CYP7A1 gene is also associated with a higher susceptibility to tuberculosis infection in a Moroccan population [76].…”

“…In late-stage PBC patients, HNF4α expression is reduced [15]. Furthermore, polymorphisms in the coding sequence of HNF4α have been related to PBC progression [46]. Yet, no pharmacological approaches have been developed to target HNF4α in cholestatic liver diseases.…”
