SOCS1, a Negative Regulator of Cytokine Signals and TLR Responses,
in Human Liver Diseases
Table 2
Proposed involvement of SOCS1 in liver pathophysiology.
| | Mechanism for SOCS1 dysregulation | Pathogenic consequences in liver |
| Increased SOCS1 | (1) Excessive stimulation with cytokines/TLR ligands | Insulin resistance | Reduced liver regeneration |
| Reduced SOCS1 | (1) CpG methylation | Hepatitis | (2) Promoter polymorphism? | Liver fibrosis | (3) Genetic mutation? | Hepatocellular carcinoma |
