| Core Tip |
We investigated the ability of obeticholic acid (OCA) to reverse pro-fibrotic effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and ethanol metabolism in liver cells. Based on our previous studies, hepatocyte apoptosis occurs under combined exposure of cells to HIV and ethanol metabolites. The subsequent engulfment of HIV-containing apoptotic hepatocytes by hepatic stellate cells induced pro-fibrotic activation in these cells, thereby promoting fibrosis development. Here, we demonstrated that OCA attenuates hepatocyte apoptosis by preventing accumulation of HIV components in liver cells exposed to HIV and acetaldehyde-generating system (AGS) mimicking natural ethanol metabolism in primary hepatocytes. These beneficial effects of OCA are attributed to suppression of oxidative stress leading to restoration of HIV-AGS-impaired proteasomal and lysosomal functions in liver cells. OCA also reduces activation of inflammasome in hepatic stellate cells and their pro-fibrotic activation. Thus, anti-fibrotic properties of OCA can be used for combined treatment of HIV-infected alcohol abusers with a high risk of liver fibrosis development. |
