Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition or a functional food composition for preventing or treating a liver disease selected from the group consisting of steatohepatitis, hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. A triazole derivative compound discovered in the present invention reduces collagen accumulation in liver tissue and significantly inhibits the expression of inflammatory factors. Thus, the triazole derivative compound effectively blocks the progression of a series of severe liver diseases, from excessive fibrogenesis in liver tissue through tissue hardening (cirrhosis) to a decrease in the number of hepatocytes and loss of liver function, unlike conventional drugs that have only a simple lipid-lowering effect. Accordingly, the triazole derivative compound may be useful as a composition for fundamental treatment of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting the growth of cancer stem cells, including administering an effective amount of a protein kinase D1 expression or activity inhibitor as an active ingredient to a subject having cancer is provided. Further, a method of treating cancer, including administering an effective amount of a protein kinase D1 expression or activity inhibitor, and antitumor agent as active ingredients to a subject having cancer is provided. Further, a method for measuring expression or activity of protein kinase D1 for providing information of breast cancer prognosis, including a step of measuring expression or activity of protein kinase D1 in cells or tissues isolated from a subject is provided.
