Genome-wide interaction study with body mass index identifies and as genetic modulators of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease [PDF]
Background/Aims Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) may progress to liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. So far, genome-wide association studies explain a small fraction of MASLD heritability.

Prox1 directly interacts with LSD1 and recruits the LSD1/NuRD complex to epigenetically co-repress CYP7A1 transcription. [PDF]
Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the classical pathway of bile acids synthesis in liver and is crucial for maintaining lipid homeostasis.

Up to date on cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) in bile acid synthesis
Cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1, EC1.14) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the classic bile acid synthesis pathway. Much progress has been made in understanding the transcriptional regulation of CYP7A1 gene expression and the underlying ...

Parental betaine supplementation promotes hepatic conversion of cholesterol to bile acids in offspring goslings with epigenetic modulation of CYP7A1 gene [PDF]
Objective Maternal betaine supplementation has been shown to affect offspring metabolism through epigenetic mechanisms in mammals. This study aimed to investigate whether parental betaine supplementation can exert intergenerational effects on hepatic ...

Are fucoidan and alginate active substances affecting CYP7A1 and HMG CoA reductase in dyslipidemia condition? [PDF]
Context: Dyslipidemia, characterized by abnormal plasma lipid levels, is commonly treated with statins, which may induce adverse effects. Fucoidan and alginate, bioactive marine polysaccharides, have emerged as potential natural modulators of lipid ...

The TGFβ1/Smad pathway plays a critical role in cholestasis and liver fibrosis. Previous studies show that TGFβ1, TNFα, and insulin inhibit cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) gene transcription and bile acid synthesis in human hepatocytes. In this study,

Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) plays a critical role in regulation of bile acid synthesis in the liver. CYP7A1 mRNAs have very short half-lives, and bile acids destabilize CYP7A1 mRNA via the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR).
