NR1H4 and Hepatic fibrosis: (1) Primary conjugated bile acids increased in patients with liver fibrosis; (2) GCDCA induce hepatic fibrosis via the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway; (3) FXR inhibits NLRP3 activity by restraining its phosphorylation; (4) knockdown or knockout of NLRP3 may relieve the onset of hepatic fibrosis.
