Method for inhibiting the proliferation of hepatic stellate cells with a ligand of the low affinity glucocorticoid binding site (lags) |
abstract |
Provided are methods of inhibiting proliferation and/or trans-differentiation of hepatic stellate cells, which method comprises the step of contacting hepatic stellate cells with a ligand of the low affinity glucocorticoid binding site (LAGS), which may be the rat p28 receptor or the human hpr6.6 receptor. The invention also provides ligands for use in such methods (e.g. pregnenolone 16-alpha carbonitrile) and methods for screening for the same (e.g. based on competition or displacement assays using LAGS ligands such as dexamethasone). Such ligands may be used in the treatment of liver disorders. |
