Abstract
Liver injury is a sophisticated pathophysiological process caused by many factors. Currently, the role of early growth response 1 (EGR1) in liver injury is still controversial. Some studies show that EGR1 can amplify the systemic inflammatory response and promote apoptosis in galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide-induced acute liver injury and alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced intrahepatic cholestasis as well as other non-liver injuries, while some other studies indicate that EGR1 protects the liver from CCl4 exposure by regulating the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and tumor necrosis factor-α-regulated genes that have hepatoprotective function.
