Abstract：
:The massive production and activation of myofibroblasts (MFB) is key to the development of liver fibrosis. In many studies, it has been proven that hepatocytes are an important part of MFB, and can be transformed into MFB through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during hepatic fibrogenesis. In our previous study, we confirmed that curcumin inhibited EMT procession and differentiation of hepatocytes into MFB. In addition, in previous studies, it has been shown that autophagy plays an important role in the regulation of cellular EMT procession. In the current study, we showed that curcumin inhibited TGF-β/Smad signaling transmission by activating autophagy, thereby inhibiting EMT. The mechanism of degradative polyubiquitylation of Smad2 and Smad3 is likely through inhibiting tetratricopeptide repeat domain 3 (TTC3) and by inducing ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of Smad ubiquitination regulatory factor 2 (SMURF2), which on account of the increase of autophagy in hepatocytes. Curcumin inhibits levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress in hepatocytes by activating PPAR-α, and regulates upstream signaling pathways of autophagy AMPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR, leading to an increase of the autophagic flow in hepatocytes. In this study, we confirm that curcumin effectively reduced the occurrence of EMT in hepatocytes and inhibited production of the extracellular matrix (ECM) by activating autophagy, which provides a potential novel therapeutic strategy for hepatic fibrosis.

However, the mechanism underlying the fine regulation of ferroptosis in liver cancer remains unclear.
