摘要:随着社会经济的快速发展及生活习惯的改变,肥胖、2型糖尿病和非酒精性脂肪性肝病(non-
alcoholic fatty liver diseases,NAFLD)在国内流行。流行病学调查表明,中国成人不同程度肥胖、2
型糖尿病及脂肪肝者占15%或更高。NAFLD是一类脂肪性肝脏疾病的总称,与饮酒无关,其共性是
甘油三酯在肝实质细胞的大量堆积。10%~20% NAFLD患者可能进展为非酒精性脂肪性肝炎(non-
alcoholic steatohepatitis,NASH),后者中约20%可能进一步进展为肝硬化甚至肝细胞癌。Day等于
1998年提出了“二次打击学说”来解释脂肪性肝炎的形成。大量调查显示,维生素D缺乏与脂肪肝
和代谢综合征的发生密切相关,但作用机制尚未明确。维生素D受体(vitamin D receptor,VDR)在
回肠帕内特细胞(Paneth cells)中大量表达,提示维生素D信号在小肠的先天性免疫及平衡肠道菌
群方面发挥关键作用。近年来,动物模型研究发现充足的维生素D可促进帕内特细胞外分泌抗菌肽
(alpha-defensins),平衡肠道菌群,减少内毒素入血,从而预防脂肪肝的形成。此外,有研究表明
维生素D信号能够诱导调节性T细胞(regulatory T cells,Tregs),抑制Th1及Th17应答,维持机体免
疫平衡。因此,开展大规模临床试验来验证维生素D对NAFLD的疗效及分子机制十分必要。

Abstract: With the rapid development of social economy and the change of lifestyles, obesity, type 2 diabetes
and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) become popular in China. Epidemiological investigation
in China showed that about 15% or higher adults have different degrees of obesity, type 2 diabetes and
fatty liver disease. NAFLD is the sum of a class of fatty liver diseases, unrelated to alcohol consumption.
The commonality of NAFLD is a large number accumulation of triglycerides in liver parenchyma cells.
About 10%~20% patients with NAFLD could develop into non-alcoholic fatty hepatitis (NASH), 20%
of which possibly progress to liver cirrhosis or even hepatocellular carcinoma. Day et al. put forward the
“two-hit hypothesis” in 1998 to explain the formation of fatty hepatitis. Many surveys showed that vitamin
D deficiency had close relationship with the incidence of fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome, but
the mechanism was not clear. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) abundantly expressed in the ileum Paneth cells,
which indicated that vitamin D played a key role in the innate immune of small intestine and the balance
of gut microbiota. In recent years, we found that sufficient vitamin D could enhance Paneth cells secreting
antibacterial peptide (alpha-defensins) in animal model, which could balance the intestinal flora and reduce
endotoxin in the blood to resist fatty liver. In addition, the reports showed that vitamin D signal could induce
regulatory T cells (Tregs), and inhibit Th1 and Th17 response in order to maintain the body’s immune
balance. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out large-scale clinical trials to test the effects of vitamin D for the
treatment of fatty liver disease and the role of molecular mechanism.
