Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Sulphotransferase 2A1 (SULT2A1) exerts hepatoprotective effects. Transcription of SULT2A1 gene is induced by pregnane-X-receptor (PXR) and can be repressed by miR-378a-5p. We studied the PXR/SULT2A1 axis in chronic cholestatic conditions: primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). MATERIALS/METHODS: Western-blot/PCRs for SULT2A1/PXR were performed in PSC (n = 11),...
