Research Abstract |
We found that hepatic steatosis suppresses autophagic function in both hepatocytes and Kupffer cells. Autophagy-deficiency enhances hepatic inflammation, cell death and carcinogenesis. Moreover, loss of autophagy enhances colitis but not carcinogenesis. These findings indicate that suppression of autophagy plays a pivotal role on development of various gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases.
