摘要
Liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)have been worldwide threats nowadays.Liver fibrosis is reversible in early stages but will develop precancerosis of HCC in cirrhotic stage.In pathological liver,excessive H_(2)O_(2) is generated and accumulated,which impacts the functionality of hepatocytes,Kupffer cells(KCs)and hepatic stellate cells(HSCs),leading to genesis of fibrosis and HCC.H_(2)O_(2) accumulation is associated with overproduction of superoxide anion(O_(2)^(·-))and abolished antioxidant enzyme systems.Plenty of therapeutics focused on H_(2)O_(2) have shown satisfactory effects against liver fibrosis or HCC in different ways.This review summarized the reasons of liver H_(2)O_(2) accumulation,and the role of H_(2)O_(2) in genesis of liver fibrosis and HCC.Additionally,nanotherapeutics targeting H_(2)O_(2) were summarized for further consideration of antifibrotic or antitumor therapy.
