TNFα in liver fibrosis.

Current pathobiology reports

Yang YM, Seki E.
PMID: 26726307
Curr Pathobiol Rep. 2015 Dec;3(4):253-261. doi: 10.1007/s40139-015-0093-z. Epub 2015 Sep 30.

Hepatocyte death, inflammation, and liver fibrosis are the hallmarks of chronic liver disease. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is an inflammatory cytokine involved in liver inflammation and sustained liver inflammation leads to liver fibrosis. TNFα exerts inflammation, proliferation, and apoptosis....

TAK1-dependent autophagy: A suppressor of fatty liver disease and hepatic oncogenesis.

Molecular & cellular oncology

Seki E.
PMID: 26709386
Mol Cell Oncol. 2014;1(4). doi: 10.4161/23723548.2014.968507. Epub 2014 Dec 31.

In addition to regulating the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), TGF-β activated kinase 1 (TAK1) also upregulates the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and autophagy. In the liver, TAK1-mediated autophagy plays a role...

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-induced fibrosis: Toll-like receptors, reactive oxygen species and Jun N-terminal kinase.

Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology

Brenner DA, Seki E, Taura K, Kisseleva T, Deminicis S, Iwaisako K, Inokuchi S, Schnabl B, Oesterreicher CH, Paik YH, Miura K, Kodama Y.
PMID: 21711427
Hepatol Res. 2011 Jul;41(7):683-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1872-034X.2011.00814.x.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) represents the progression of hepatic steatosis to streatohepatitis, fibrosis and cirrhosis. Three signaling pathways have been associated with this progression; Toll-like receptors, reactive oxygen species and Jun N-terminal kinase. This review will describe how activation of...

Alcoholic liver disease: A current molecular and clinical perspective.

Liver research

Ohashi K, Pimienta M, Seki E.
PMID: 31214376
Liver Res. 2018 Dec;2(4):161-172. doi: 10.1016/j.livres.2018.11.002. Epub 2018 Dec 12.

Heavy alcohol use is the cause of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). The ALD spectrum ranges from alcoholic steatosis to steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. In Western countries, approximately 50% of cirrhosis-related deaths are due to alcohol use. While alcoholic cirrhosis...

Toll-like receptors in liver fibrosis: cellular crosstalk and mechanisms.

Frontiers in physiology

Yang L, Seki E.
PMID: 22661952
Front Physiol. 2012 May 22;3:138. doi: 10.3389/fphys.2012.00138. eCollection 2012.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern recognition receptors that distinguish conserved microbial products, also known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), from host molecules. Liver is the first filter organ between the gastrointestinal tracts and the rest of the body through...

TRIF Differentially Regulates Hepatic Steatosis and Inflammation/Fibrosis in Mice.

Cellular and molecular gastroenterology and hepatology

Yang L, Miura K, Zhang B, Matsushita H, Yang YM, Liang S, Song J, Roh YS, Seki E.
PMID: 28462384
Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2017 Jan 17;3(3):469-483. doi: 10.1016/j.jcmgh.2016.12.004. eCollection 2017 May.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling is activated through 2 adaptor proteins: MyD88 and TIR-domain containing adaptor-inducing interferon-β (TRIF). TLR4 and MyD88 are crucial in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and fibrosis. However, the role of TRIF in TLR4-mediated...

Toll-like receptor signaling in liver regeneration, fibrosis and carcinogenesis.

Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology

Seki E, Park E, Fujimoto J.
PMID: 21696522
Hepatol Res. 2011 Jul;41(7):597-610. doi: 10.1111/j.1872-034X.2011.00822.x. Epub 2011 Jun 22.

Toll-like receptors (TLR) are the germline-coded pattern recognition receptors that sense microbial products. This signaling orchestrates complex signaling pathways that induce expression of inflammatory genes for host defense against invading microorganisms. Recent studies illustrate the role of TLR on...

Activation of innate immunity is associated with the development of liver disease, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In the innate immune system, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are sensors that recognize bacterial and viral components such as lipopolysaccharide, bacterial DNA,...
