Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a leading cause of chronic liver disease globally. It initiates with simple steatosis (NAFL) and can progress to the more severe condition of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH often advances to end-stage liver diseases such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Notably, the transition from NASH to end-stage liver diseases is irreversible, and the precise mechanisms driving this progression are not yet fully understood. Consequently, there is a critical need for the development of effective therapies to arrest or reverse this progression. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis of NASH, examines the current therapeutic targets and pharmacological treatments, and offers insights for future drug discovery and development strategies for NASH therapy.

非酒精性脂肪性肝炎的新机制和新型药物疗法
非酒精性脂肪肝(NAFLD)已成为全球慢性肝病的主要病因。非酒精性脂肪肝最初表现为单纯性脂肪变性(NAFL),随后可发展为更严重的非酒精性脂肪性肝炎(NASH)。非酒精性脂肪性肝炎通常会发展为肝纤维化、肝硬化和肝细胞癌(HCC)等终末期肝病。值得注意的是,从 NASH 到终末期肝病的转变是不可逆的,而驱动这一进展的确切机制尚未完全明了。因此,亟需开发有效的疗法来阻止或逆转这一进展。本综述全面概述了 NASH 的发病机制,研究了当前的治疗靶点和药物治疗方法,并对未来 NASH 治疗药物的发现和开发策略提出了见解。
