If the bile acids reach to pathological concentrations due to cholestasis, accumulation of hydrophobic bile acids within the hepatocyte may result in cell death. Thus, hydrophobic bile acids induce apoptosis in hepatocytes, while hydrophilic bile acids increase intracellular adenosine 3',5'- monophosphate (cAMP) levels and activate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways to protect hepatocytes from apoptosis.
