抄録 Bile acid-activated receptors are a family of membrane and nuclear receptors activated by bile acids. This family included the G-protein coupled receptor GP-BAR1 and at least four nuclear receptors(FXR, CAR, PXR and VDR). Bile acid-activated receptors are highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract and regulate essential functions involved in maintenance of mucosal integrity, nutrient absorption, microbiota composition and metabolism. FXR is a bile acid sensor in the hepato-biliary system, while GP-BAR1 senses secondary bile acids and modulates GLP-1 release in the intesttine. In the past few years we have shown both GP-BAR1 and FXR exert an important role in protecting against mucosal injury caused by NSAIDs. Indeed, gastrointestinal injury caused by exposure of mice to non-selective cyclo-oxygenase(COX)inhibitor is exacerbated by GP-BAR1 and FXR deletion. Analysis of molecular mechanisms underlying the protective effects of these receptors has shown that while protection is COX-independent both receptors modulate the expression/activity of enzymes involved in generating two well characterized gaseous mediators:nitric oxide(NO)and/or hydrogen sulphide(H2S). Specifically protection of gastrointestinal mucosa exerted by FXR and GP-BAR1 agonists against injury caused by acetyl salicylic acid or COX-1 inhibitors is reversed by inhibitor of the H2S-generating enzyme, cystathionine gamma-lyase(CSE). Molecular analysis of the promoter region of CSE shows the presence of four GP-BAR1 responsive elements at least one canonical responsive element for FXR. In vitro studies have shown that while NSAIDs might inhibit the expression/activity of CSE in the intestinal mucosa, GP-BAR1 and FXR ligands do the opposite. Taken together these data highly a role for bile acid activated receptors in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and suggest a potential clinical use of their agonists in protecting against intestinal injury caused by ASA or NSAIDs.
