Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the transition from simple fatty liver to non-alcoholic liver disease/hepatitis (NAFLD/NASH), it is known that metabolism is altered in each liver lobule zone (metabolic zonation). The present analysis revealed that the genes expressed in the cells constituting the liver change accordingly. Gene X was expressed in the hepatic sinusoidal endothelium bordering hepatic stellate cells, which play an important role in fibrosis. This Gene X changes with the progression of NAFLD/NASH, suggesting that Gene X has an inhibitory effect on the progression of liver fibrosis.
