| Core Tip |
We have previously demonstrated that treatment of taurine could alleviate liver fibrosis by inhibiting hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and inhibiting activated HSC proliferation. Considering the important role of autophagy and ferroptosis in the process of liver fibrosis pathology, we used molecular biology tests and bioinformatic methods to identify the effect of taurine on autophagy and ferroptosis in HSCs in vitro. This study demonstrated for the first time that taurine could inhibit autophagy in HSCs to inhibit their activation while triggering ferroptosis and ferritinophagy to eliminate activated HSCs. Taurine has a direct targeting effect on nuclear receptor coactivator 4, exhibiting the best average binding affinity of -23.95 kcal/mol. |
