Abstract excerpt
Liver fibrosis represents the wound healing response to sustained hepatic injury with activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). The I148M variant of the PNPLA3 gene represents a risk factor for development of severe liver fibrosis. Activated HSCs carrying the I148M variant display exacerbated pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic features. We aimed to examine whether the I148M variant may impair Hedgehog and Yap...
