Transcriptome analysis identifies TNF superfamily receptors as potential therapeutic targets in alcoholic hepatitis

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a severe clinical condition that needs novel therapies. The identification of targets for therapy is hampered by the lack of animal models of advanced AH. The authors performed a translational study through a transcriptome analysis in patients with AH to identify new molecular targets. DESIGN: Hepatic gene expression profiling was assessed by DNA microarray in patients with...
