Liver disease 'shrunk' by blood-pressure drug
June 1st, 2009 A blood-pressure medicine has been shown to reverse
the
effects of early-stage liver failure in some patients.

Newcastle University researchers analysed a small clinical trial of
losartan, a drug normally prescribed for hypertension, on 14 patients
in Spain, who had Hepatitis C.

The illness was at an advanced stage causing fibrosis - scarring in
the liver - which would usually have progressed to liver failure.

Half of the patients in the trial saw the scars in their liver shrink
allowing the organ to repair itself.

Professor Derek Mann from Newcastle University said: "At the moment
we
have no proven effective way of treating people with chronic liver
disease other than transplantation. This early stage trial has shown
that we can shrink liver scarring in some patients and shows promise
for a treatment that could make a huge difference to the lives of
thousands of people."

The team whose work is published today in Gastroenterology, say this
early stage trial is promising and they now want to carry out several
much larger studies initially involving patients with liver disease
caused by obesity and then later alcohol, hereditary and autoimmune
diseases.

Mechanism

Liver damage, known as fibrosis, is caused by the unwanted
accumulation of excess fibrous connective tissue which is produced
and
maintained by a specialised cell, the liver myofibroblast.

In chronic liver disease a signalling pathway is created that
instructs the liver myofibroblast to stay alive and proliferate. It
is
this pathway that then causes scar tissue to accumulate, creating the
liver damage.

Work carried out in rat and mouse models allowed the researchers to
study what was happening inside the liver when losartan, an
angiotensin II receptor antagonist drug, was present.

Researchers believe that the drug blocks the signalling pathway so
that the liver myofibroblasts die, removing the source of scar
tissue.
As the scar tissue breaks up, the damaged area of the liver is
repaired by the body.

In this research, funded by the Medical Research Council and the
British Liver Trust, the Newcastle University researchers discovered
a
biological marker, NF-kB, was crucial for the activities of scar-
forming cells.

Tests on their livers revealed that, before treatment with losartan,
half of the patients had a high level of the biomarker NF-kB. After
treatment, the level fell indicating that losartan is able to switch
off NF-kB with the result that scars are no longer produced or
maintained, but instead shrink.

Professor Mann said: "By measuring the amount of active NF-kB in the
liver from a biopsy sample, we may be able to tell which patients
will
benefit from treatment with losartan or similar drugs such as ACE
inhibitors. This may prove to be a new treatment for up to half of
all
liver patients."
