The present invention relates to the field of biomedicine. The present invention provides application of a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) expression interference reagent in preparation of anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs. Specifically, the present invention relates to application of FXR for treatment of hepatic fibrosis, by tail intravenous injection of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) expression interference reagent (namely, an adenovirus carrying FXR plasmid) to mice, the expression level of the FXR in hepatocytes is significantly increased, CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis can be significantly countered,hepatocyte morphology and structural integrity can be maintained, and serum transaminase level can be reduced. A new approach for clinical treatment of liver diseases especially hepatic fibrosis is provided.

The invention relates to the field of natural medicines, and in particular relates to an action mechanism of silybin for preventing liver apoptosis through an FXR (Farnesoid X Receptor) path. According to the invention, the silybin prevents apoptosis of HepG2 cells caused by ActD/TNF alpha through an FXR dependent path. Within human hepatoma cell line HepG2 cells, silybin can induce up-regulation of mRNA level and protein level of FXR in a dose-dependent manner, and can reverse down-regulation of FXR expression in a HepG2 cell apoptosis model caused by ActD/TNFalpha remarkably; the silybin has remarkable protective effect on the HepG2 cell apoptosis caused by the ActD/TNFalpha, but the anti-apoptosis function of the silybin is lost after the FXR SiRNA is used for silencing endogenous FXR genes.

The invention belongs to the field of biomedicines, and relates to application of a nuclear FXR (Farnesoid X Receptor) in targeted therapy of liver cancer stem cells. The nuclear FXR is used as a target for diagnosing or assisting in diagnosis of the liver cancer stem cells, and a gene medicine or a chemical medicine is designed to be applied to treatment of the liver cancer stem cells. According to the application of the nuclear FXR in the targeted therapy of the liver cancer stem cells, the gene medicine is an FXR-containing expression vector or interference vector; the chemical medicine contains a ligand for regulating the FXR and a ligand for regulating a target gene of the FXR. According to the application, by virtue of cell transfection and activation of the nuclear FXR, the tumor ball formation capacity of a hepatoma cell line can be obviously reduced, and the tumorigenicity of the liver cancer stem cells is reduced; a new molecular target is supplied to identification of the liver cancer stem cells and diagnosis and treatment of the liver cancer, so that the problem that a conventional molecular marker of tumor stem cells is hard to regulate is solved.
