Downregulation of TGR5 (GPBAR1) in biliary epithelial cells is characteristic of sclerosing cholangitis and may contribute to disease pathogenesis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is characterized by chronic inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the biliary tree. The bile acid receptor TGR5 is found on biliary epithelial cells (BECs), where it promotes secretion, proliferation and tight junction integrity. Thus, we speculated that changes in TGR5 expression in BECs may contribute to PSC pathogenesis.
