ABSTRACT: Hepatic fibrosis is a dynamic process characterized by the net accumulation of extracellular matrix resulting from chronic liver injury such as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. During the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis, activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) causes transdifferentiation of quiescent cells into proliferative and fibrogenic myofibroblasts. In the present study, we developed a novel RORα-selective ligand, ODH-08, based on the modification of JC1-40, a previously reported N-methylthiourea analog. Administration of ODH-08 to Western diet (WD)-fed mice improved the signs of hepatic fibrosis: decreased hepatic collagen deposition and suppression of the expression of fibrogenic markers. ODH-08 inhibits the TGF1-induced fibrogenic activation of HSCs through suppression of the TGFβ1–SMAD signaling pathway, which represents a novel mechanism for the antifibrogenic effect of RORα. Thus, ODH-08 appears to be a promising antifibrotic agent to treat hepatic fibrosis. We performed a microarray analysis in the liver tissue of ODH-08-treated WD-fed mice to anlyse differentially expressed genes under ODH-08 administration. The control group was vehicle-treated WD-fed mice.
