β‐Arrestin1 enhances liver fibrosis through autophagy‐mediated Snail signaling
14 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
GPCR mediator β-arrestins (β-arr1 and β-arr2) regulate a variety of physiologic and pathologic processes, including hepatocellular carcinogenesis. However, the role of β-arrestins in liver fibrosis remains unknown. β-arr1, but not β-arr2, was upregulated in liver fibrotic tissues in both humans and mice; moreover, autophagy was increased. β-arr1 deficiency or autophagic inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA)...
