Sažetak


Hronična bolest jetre (Chronic Liver Disease, engl, CLD) je postepena, kontinuirana inflamacija, destrukcija i regeneracija hepatocita trajanja dužeg od šest meseci, čija progresija dovodi do fibroze, potom ciroze jetre a u najtežim slučajevima hepatocelularnog karcinoma (HCC).

Uloga imunološkog sistema u CLD je prepoznata pre nekoliko decenija, ali do danas nisu razjašnjeni svi imunološki mehanizmi oštećenja jetre, koji bi mogli biti značajni i kao potencijalne terapijske opcije. Citokini osovine interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 su opisani kao ključni citokini uključeni u imunopatogenezu CLD. Brojne studije su opisivale uticaj osovine IL-23/IL-17 na razvoj fibroze jetre sa heterogenim rezultatima. Ovi rezultati su uglavnom opisivali patofiziologiju, ali su se bavili i potencijalnim imunoterapijskim opcijama. Najkontradiktorniji rezultati objavljeni u aktuelnim studijama koje se bave ovom temom odnose se na hronični hepatitis C (HHC) i nealkoholni steatohepatitis (NASH).

Još uvek je nejasno da li postoje varijacije u koncentraciji proinflamatornih citokina na lokalnom i sistemskom nivou u HHC koje potencijalno mogu usmeravati imunoterapeutske strategije kod ovih pacijenata. Sa druge strane, u NASH-u zapaljenje je jedan od ključnih pokretača progresije bolesti i razvoja fibroze. Regulacija upale je kontroverzna, u zavisnosti od više intrahepatičnih i ekstrahepatičnih faktora, te do sada nisu jasno otkriveni mehanizmi imunopatogeneze ni kod ove hronične bolesti jetre.

Potrebna su dalja istraživanja koja bi jasno sugerisala da li bi neki od imunopatogenetski značajnih mehanizama kod hroničnih bolesti jetre mogao biti potencijalni prognostički i imunoterapijski faktor.
