Abstract

Activation of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) is the central event in liver fibrosis. NS5ATP9 is related to many malignant tumors, but little is known about its function in HSC activation. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of NS5ATP9 in HSC activation in vitro. Genes related to liver fibrosis were detected after NS5ATP9 overexpression or silencing with or without transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 stimulation in the human HSCs by real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis were tested, and the mechanisms underlying the effect of NS5ATP9 on HSC activation were studied. We showed that NS5ATP9 suppressed HSC activation and collagen production, with or without TGF-β1 induction. Also, NS5ATP9 inhibited cell proliferation and migration and promoted apoptosis. Furthermore, NS5ATP9 reduced basal and TGF-β1-mediated Smad3/phosphorylated-Smad3 expression. The existence of a physical complex between NS5ATP9 and Smad3 was illustrated. NS5ATP9 suppresses HSC activation, extracellular matrix production, and promotes apoptosis, in part through reducing Smad3/phosphorylated-Smad3 expression.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
