Hepatocyte-specific IL11 cis-signaling drives lipotoxicity and underlies the transition from NAFLD to NASH

IL11 contributes to the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) through incompletely understood mechanisms. Here, the authors report that lipotoxicity-driven autocrine IL11 activity underlies hepatocyte metabolic dysfunction and death via a NOX4/ERK-mediated mechanism while paracrine IL1...
