Abstract |
The C-X-C motif chemokine 12/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCL12/ CXCR4) biological axis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. Curcumin is known to have an anti-fibrosis effect, but the specific mechanism needs to be elucidated. There is currently no evidence illustrating a connection between curcumin and the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in liver fibrosis. Here, we investigated the contribution of curcumin on CXCL12/ CXCR4 biological axis in liver fibrosis. Our results showed that curcumin remarkably improved hepatic function and liver fibrosis, and the effects are similar as silymarin. The alleviation of liver fibrosis with curcumin treatment was associated with a reduction of CXCL12, CXCR4, α-SMA and RhoA. In addition, curcumin markedly inhibited the proliferation and migration of HSC-T6 cells. This study indicates that curcumin could protect against hepatic stellate cells activation and migration by inhibiting the CXCL12/CXCR4 biological axis in liver fibrosis.
