Transporter regulation

  • Gastroenterology. 2018;155:1578-1592. Solute Carrier Organic Anion Transporter family member 3A1 is a bile acid efflux transporter in cholestasis. Pan Q, Zhang X, Zhang L, Cheng Y, Zhao N, Li F, Zhou X, Chen S, Li J, Xu S, Huang D, Chen Y, Li L, Wang H, Chen W, Cai SY, Boyer JL, Chai J. The authors propose a model for hepatic OATP3A1 expression regulation in human cholestasis. Increased plasma FGF19 activates ERK and NF-kB signaling, which leads to the increased expression of the transcription factors SP1 and NF-kB p65 and their binding activities to the SLCO3A1 promoter. The increased OATP3A1 expression eliminates conjugated bile acids in cholestatic hepatocytes. On the other hand, FGF19 also represses bile acid synthesis through the ERK/NF-kB–SHP/CYP7A1 pathway. This dual safety mechanism would be effective to eliminate bile acids in cholestatic hepatocytes and thereby reduce liver injury. PubMed
