Anti-inflammatory and Antifibrotic Effects of Plant Regulatory Peptides in Patients with Steatohepatitis and Cirrhosis: Opportunities of Primary Liver Cancer Prevention
Journal Title: Journal of Regenerative Biology and Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The pathogenesis of steatohepatitis, which develops on the background of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and may be the cause of liver cirrhosis, is considered in the article. Also, the paper focuses on the prospects of using peptide drugs for the treatment of liver cirrhosis. The study found that the preparation of plant regulatory peptides GA-40 has pronounced hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects, which is confirmed by the elastometry data of the shear wave. The results of this work indicate that the use of the drug GA-40 was accompanied not only by the normalization of the inflammatory panel of the liver and triglycerides, but also by a likely decrease in the level of glypican-3 - the main factor that causes the development of primary liver cancer. Gene protector and immunocorrector GA-40, harmonizing metabolic processes in the liver, as well as suppressing inflammation and preventing excessive output of hepatocytes in apoptosis, has a positive effect on the prognosis of the disease. Reduced expression of glypican-3 in patients in the study group indicates that GA-40 is able to control the level of pro-oncogenic trigger proteins, thus reducing the risk of primary liver cancer.
