Abstract

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a prevalent metabolic disorder characterized by hepatic steatosis associated with metabolic abnormalities. Recent research has shed light on the intricate interplay among interleukin-1 receptor 1 (IL1R1), gut microbiota, and bile acids in the pathogenesis of MASLD. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the role of IL1R1, gut microbiota, and bile acids in MASLD, exploring their interrelationships and potential mechanisms. We summarize the evidence supporting the involvement of IL1R1 in inflammation, discuss the influence of gut microbiota on bile acid metabolism and its influence on liver health, and elucidate the bidirectional interactions among IL1R1 signaling, gut microbiota composition, and bile acid homeostasis in MASLD. Furthermore, we highlight emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these interrelated pathways for the management of MASLD.
