Secreted folate receptor-gamma drives fibrogenesis in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis by amplifying TGFβ signaling in hepatic stellate cells
2022-07-22
Abstract excerpt
Hepatic fibrosis is the primary determinant of mortality in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients. Antagonism of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ), a master profibrogenic cytokine, is a promising therapeutic target that has not yet been translated into an effective therapy, due in part to the lack of animal models resembling the human phenotype of NASH. Here we have identified that soluble secreted folate...
