Our focus is on the therapeutic targets for fibrosis associated with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and the mechanism of action of elafibranor (EFN), a dual agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and peroxisome PPAR δ (PPARδ). EFN is currently in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and primary biliary cholangitis. ALD progresses from alcoholic fatty liver to alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH), with chronic ASH eventually leading to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and, in some cases, hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathogenesis of ALD is driven by hepatic steatosis, oxidative stress, and acetaldehyde toxicity. Alcohol consumption disrupts lipid metabolism by inactivating PPARα, exacerbating the progression of ALD. EFN primarily activates PPARα, promoting lipolysis and β-oxidation in ethanol-stimulated HepG2 cells, which significantly reduces hepatic steatosis, apoptosis, and fibrosis in an ALD mouse model. Additionally, alcohol disrupts the gut-liver axis at several interconnected levels, contributing to a proinflammatory environment in the liver. EFN helps alleviate intestinal hyperpermeability by restoring tight junction protein expression and autophagy, inhibiting apoptosis and inflammatory responses, and enhancing intestinal barrier function through PPARδ activation.</p>","PeriodicalId":23778,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Gastroenterology","volume":"30 43","pages":"4660-4668"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11572637/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142688931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prevention and treatment of this condition are critical for patient outcomes. Preventive strategies focus on reducing portal hypertension to prevent varices from developing or enlarging. Primary prophylaxis involves the use of non-selective beta-blockers, such as propranolol or nadolol, which lower portal pressure by decreasing cardiac output and thereby reducing blood flow to the varices. Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) may also be employed as primary prophylaxis to prevent initial bleeding episodes. Once bleeding occurs, immediate treatment is essential. Initial management includes hemodynamic stabilization followed by pharmacological therapy with vasoactive drugs such as octreotide or terlipressin to control bleeding. Endoscopic intervention is the cornerstone of treatment, with techniques such as EVL or sclerotherapy applied to directly manage the bleeding varices. In cases where bleeding is refractory to endoscopic treatment, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt may be considered to effectively reduce portal pressure.
