- Background
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid, also known as ursodoxicoltaurine, is a highly hydrophilic tertiary bile acid 3 that is produced in humans at a low concentration.3 It is a taurine conjugate of ursodeoxycholic acid 2 with comparable therapeutic efficacy and safety,3 but a much higher hydrophilicity.1 Normally, hydrophilic bile acids regulates hydrophobic bile acids and their cytotoxic effects. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid can reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine, thereby reducing the body's intake of dietary cholesterol and the body cholesterol content.4
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid is currently used in Europe to treat and prevent gallstones as a bile acid derivative.7 Due to a range of its molecular properties - namely its anti-apoptotic effects - tauroursodeoxycholic acid has been examined in inflammatory metabolic diseases and neurodegenerative diseases.2,3

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid works to decrease bile acid 1 and cholesterol levels.4 It reduces the cholesterol content and increases the bile acid content in gallbladder bile to prevent the formation of cholesterol gallstones.4
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid possesses anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. These findings provoked the investigations of tauroursodeoxycholic acid as a potential therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.2 Other studies also suggest that tauroursodeoxycholic acid can promote angiogenesis and suppress adipogenesis of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Anti-osteoporotic effects of tauroursodeoxycholic acid have also been documented, as it was shown to enhance osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived MSCs.3
- Mechanism of action
About 90% of gallstones are formed by cholesterol, which may be caused by altered gut microbiota from a high-fat diet and other factors. The gut microbiota regulates bile acid metabolism; thus, altered composition in gut microbiota may significantly change the bile acid pool and alter cholesterol secretion.4
While the exact mechanism of action of tauroursodeoxycholic acid in reducing and preventing gallstone formation is unclear, tauroursodeoxycholic acid may achieve this effect in a number of ways. A recent mouse study suggests that tauroursodeoxycholic acid inhibits intestinal cholesterol absorption and lowers liver cholesterol levels by upregulating the bile acid excretion from the liver to the gallbladder. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid lowers the bile cholesterol saturation in the gallbladder, thereby increasing the solubility of cholesterol in bile. It can also maintain a specific gut microbiota composition to promote the synthesis of bile acids and reduce liver inflammation caused by the lipopolysaccharide in the blood. Ultimately, tauroursodeoxycholic acid enhances the synthesis of bile acids in the liver and reduces cholesterol in the serum and liver.4
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid inhibits cell apoptosis by disrupting the mitochondrial pathway of cell death. It works by inhibiting oxygen-radical production, ameliorating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and stabilizing the unfolded protein response. Other anti-apoptotic processes mediated by tauroursodeoxycholic acid include cytochrome c release, caspase activation, DNA and nuclear fragmentation, and inhibition of p53 transactivation. It is believed that tauroursodeoxycholic acid works on multiple cellular targets to inhibit apoptosis and upregulate survival pathways.2

- Integrin alpha-5/beta-1 is a receptor for fibronectin and fibrinogen. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in its ligands. ITGA5:ITGB1 binds to PLA2G2A via a site (site 2) which is distinct from the classical ligand-binding site (site 1) and this induces integrin conformational changes and enhanced ligand binding to site 1 (PubMed:18635536, PubMed:25398877). ITGA5:ITGB1 acts as a receptor for fibrillin-1 (FBN1) and mediates R-G-D-dependent cell adhesion to FBN1 (PubMed:12807887, PubMed:17158881).
