Abstract
The accumulation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) oxidative damage mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is closely associated with liver diseases. 8-Oxoguanine (8-OxoG), a prevalent DNA oxidation product, plays a significant role in liver disease progression. The base excision repair (BER) pathway, comprising over 30 proteins including 8-OxoG DNA glycosylase1 (OGG1), MutY homolog (MUTYH), and MutT homolog protein 1 (MTH1), is responsible for the clearance and mismatch repair of 8-OxoG. Abnormally high levels of 8-OxoG and dysregulated expression and function of 8-OxoG repair enzymes contribute to the onset and development of liver diseases. Consequently, targeting the 8-OxoG production and repair system with agonists or inhibitors may offer a promising approach to liver disease treatment. This review summarizes the impact of 8-OxoG accumulation and dysregulated repair enzymes on various liver diseases, including viral liver disease, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), cholestatic liver disease (CLD), liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Additionally, we review natural constituents as potential therapeutic agents that regulate 8-OxoG production, repair enzymes, and repair system-related signal pathways in oxidative damage-induced liver diseases.
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines (CJNM), founded and sponsored in May 2003 by China Pharmaceutical University and the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, is devoted to communication among pharmaceutical and medical scientists interested in the advancement of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM). CJNM publishes articles relating to a broad spectrum of bioactive natural products, leading compounds and medicines derived from Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM).
Topics covered by the journal are: Resources of Traditional Chinese Medicines; Interaction and complexity of prescription; Natural Products Chemistry (including structure modification, semi-and total synthesis, bio-transformation); Pharmacology of natural products and prescription (including pharmacokinetics and toxicology); Pharmaceutics and Analytical Methods of natural products.
