Description

Hepatic miR-34a expression is elevated in diet-induced or genetically obese mice and patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), yet hepatocyte miR-34a's role in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) from non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) to NASH remains to be elucidated.

Subject

Mice overexpressing or deficient in hepatocyte miR-34a and control mice were fed a diet enriched in fats, cholesterol, and fructose (HFCF) to induce NASH. C57BL/6 mice with NASH were treated with an miR-34a inhibitor or a scramble control oligo. The effect of miR-34a on the development, progression, and reversal of NAFLD was determined.
