Decreased expression of breast cancer resistance protein in the duodenum in patients with obstructive cholestasis [PDF]
Background/Aims: The expression of transporters involved in bile acid homeostasis is differentially regulated during obstructive cholestasis. Since the drug efflux transporter breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is known to transport bile acids, we ...

In contrast with urine formation, bile flow is not dependent on hydrostatic forces, but driven by osmotic pressure of solutes secreted across the apical membrane of hepatocytes and bile duct epithelial cells. This secretory process is mediated by a set of primary active transporters that use ATP hydrolysis to pump solutes against the concentration ...

Outcomes of Childhood Cholestasis in Alagille Syndrome: Results of a Multicenter Observational Study
Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder with cholestasis as a defining clinical feature. We sought to characterize hepatic outcomes in a molecularly defined cohort of children with ALGS‐related cholestasis.

Cholestasis can be caused by extrahepatic and intrahepatic pathogenic mechanisms that affect cellular and subcellular functions. The retention of bile results in numerous biochemical abnormalities, some of which are useful as clinical tests. The clinicopathologic findings are often suggestive of the underlying hepatobiliary disorder but are seldom ...

Intrahepatic Cholestasis in Pregnancy: Review of the Literature
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the most common hepatic disorder related to pregnancy in women. It usually develops within the third trimester of pregnancy and presents with pruritus as well as elevated levels of bile acid and/or alanine ...

Molecular overview of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis
Cholestasis is a clinical condition resulting from the imapairment of bile flow. This condition could be caused by defects of the hepatocytes, which are responsible for the complex process of bile formation and secretion, and/or caused by defects in the ...

This study highlighted the different disease courses of Alagille syndrome patients with progressive disease (PD) or the jaundice‐free (JF) courses based on clinical follow‐up. Patients in the JF group had a favorable outcome and longer native liver survival than the PD group.

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid exerts anticholestatic effects by a cooperative cPKC alpha-/PKA-dependent mechanism in rat liver. [PDF]
Objective: Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) exerts anticholestatic effects in part by protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent mechanisms. Its taurine conjugate, TUDCA, is a cPKCa agonist.
