TGFβ1, TNFα, and insulin signaling crosstalk in regulation of the rat cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase gene expression*
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, we investigated insulin, TGFβ1, and TNFα reg...
