Both prophylactic and curative treatments of HFD-fed mice with RIPA-56, caused a down-regulation of MLKL and a reduction of liver injury, inflammation and fibrosis, characteristic of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), as well as of steatosis.
In patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), PNPLA3 GG compared to CC was associated with higher AST levels [38.4±25.3 versus 36.7±40.1IU/L, p=0.0395)] and with the presence of liver fibrosis (≥F2 fibrosis, p=0.0272).
Since macrophages are vital players in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and atherosclerosis, we assessed the effect of ASMase inhibition on NASH and atherosclerosis cooperatively induced by high PA-containing high-fat diet (HP-HFD) and LPS in LDL receptor-deficient (LDLR-/-) mice.
To investigate the mechanism of inflflammatory-mediated toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) pathway in Kupffer cells (KCs) of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) rats and the intervention effect of soothing Gan (Liver) and invigorating Pi (Spleen) recipes on this pathway.
In histology, patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) had higher frequency of Hp 2-2 genotype than non-NASH patients (71.3% vs 22.2%, P < 0.001); patients with significant fibrosis had higher frequency of Hp 2-2 genotype (78.3% vs 54.8%, P < 0.05) than no/mild fibrosis patients.
On multivariate analysis, baseline AFP > 5.5 was associated with the presence of cirrhosis (P =0.001), coexisting non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (P = 0.035), and GT 1 (P = 0.029).
As modifications affecting both mitochondrial and lipid metabolism contribute to the initiation and/or progression of liver steatosis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a link between disrupted PGC1 pathways and onset of these pathological conditions has been postulated.
Taken together, we show that PP2A may have protective roles, and its inhibition exacerbates NAFLD pathology via activating NOX2-dependent peroxynitrite generation, thus increasing miR21-induced pathology.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Protein phosphatase 2A inhibition causes nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) progression via NADPH oxidase 2.
Here, we report that the peptide DHNNPQIR (hereinafter referred to as RAP-8), a bioactive peptide originated from rapeseed protein, exhibits excellent in vivo efficacy in mouse models of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatic fibrosis.
Intestinal Trefoil Factor 3 Alleviates the Intestinal Barrier Function Through Reducing the Expression of TLR4 in Rats with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis.
Here we demonstrate that G protein pathway suppressor 2 (GPS2), a subunit of the nuclear receptor corepressor (NCOR) and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) complex, has a central role in these alterations and accelerates the progression of NAFLD towards non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
The different expression of tumor suppressors, RASSF1A, RUNX3, and GSTP1, in patients with alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) vs non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
