BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chronic hepatic inflammation results in liver fibrosis.
As effective anti-fibrogenic agents are lacking, we investigated ursodeoxycholyl
lysophosphatidylethanolamide (UDCA-LPE), a synthetic bile acid-phospholipid
conjugate with anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties for tis effects on
hepatic fibrogenesis. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: To stimulate fibrogenesis, LX2
hepatic stellate cells were cultured with conditioned medium from CL48 liver
cells after exposure to stress-inducing conditions - methionine-choline-deficient
(MCD) medium or TNF?/cycloheximide (CHX) - with or without UDCA-LPE
preincubation. Anti-fibrogenic effects of UDCA-LPE were further studied in CL48
and LX2 cells and in primary human hepatic stellate cells (HHStec) directly
exposed to TGF-?1. To test UDCA-LPE?in vivo, C57BL/6 mice were fed a MCD diet for
11 weeks followed by 30?mg·kg(-1) UDCA-LPE 3× per week for 2.5 weeks. KEY
RESULTS: Expression of ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA), ?1-collagen, vimentin and
TGF-?1 was down-regulated by up to 93% by UDCA-LPE in LX-2 cells cultured with
conditioned medium. Also, UDCA-LPE inhibited Smad3 phosphorylation in CL48 cells
incubated with MCD medium or TNF?/CHX and in LX2 cells exposed to conditioned
medium. UDCA-LPE also decreased phosphorylated Smad3 and Smad2 directly induced
by TGF-?1. Inhibition of TGF-?1/Smad2/3 signalling with down-regulation of target
genes was confirmed in HHStec. In vivo, UDCA-LPE decreased hepatic ?-SMA,
?1-collagen and TGF-?1 expression and markedly lowered ?-SMA protein and collagen
deposition in MCD mice. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: By blocking TGF-?1/Smad2/3
signalling, UDCA-LPE suppressed key mediators of hepatic fibrogenesis. Thus,
UDCA-LPE could be suitable for prevention of fibrotic progression of chronic
liver disease.
