2 Fig. 1 Pleiotropic effects of statins on small GTPases in the liver. The decrease in activation of small GPTases RhoA and Ras in hepatic stellate cells and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells leads to changes in the subsequent signalling pathways, which results in less fibrogenesis, less hepatic inflammation and lower portal pressure. Additional statins have direct effects on hepatocyte growth and proliferation signals and thereby might abrogate the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.
