Damaging mutations in LXRα uncouple lipogenesis from hepatotoxicity and implicate hepatic cholesterol sensing in human liver health
2024-04-29
Abstract excerpt
The nuclear receptor Liver X Receptor-α (LXRα) activates lipogenic gene expression in hepatocytes. Its inhibition has therefore been proposed as a strategy to treat metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In order to understand the impact of reducing LXRα activity on human health we first examined the association between the carriage of rare loss of function mutations in NR1H3 (encoding...
