Tomatidine improves liver fibrosis by promoting autophagy in hepatic stellate cells through the ERK/MAPK-mTOR-ULK1 pathway
2023-04-27
Abstract excerpt
Liver fibrosis is caused by various liver diseases and eventually develops into liver cancer. Tomatidine (TD), an aglycone of α-tomatidine, is a major glycoalkaloid found in immature tomato fruits, leaves, and stems. In this study, we investigated that tomatidine may promote autophagy in hepatic stellate cells through the ERK/MAPK-mTOR-ULK1 signaling pathway to improve liver fibrosis and combined experimental vali...
