Background/Aims
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide. Aberrant DNA methylation, which is primarily maintained by DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), has been linked to metabolic dysregulation; however, its contribution to MASLD pathogenesis remains poorly defined. This study aimed to elucidate the role of DNMT1-mediated methylation in transcriptional regulation during MASLD progression and to determine whether DNMT1 inhibition can reverse disease-associated epigenetic and transcriptional alterations.
Methods
We conducted integrated analyses of the liver transcriptome (n = 131) and DNA methylome (n = 106) of patients with biopsy-proven MASLD. We evaluated the effect of DNMT1 inhibition with 5-aza-4′-thio-2′-deoxycytidine (Aza-TdC) on a diet-induced MASLD mouse model. Multiomics approaches, including DNA methylome profiling, lipidomics, bulk and single-nucleus RNA sequencing, and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, were applied to elucidate the role of DNMT1-mediated DNA methylation in regulating pathogenic gene expression.
Results
DNA methylome profiling revealed increased methylation variability associated with increased DNMT1 expression in MASLD patients. DNMT1 inhibition ameliorated dysregulated lipid metabolism by reducing hepatic triacylglycerol accumulation and inflammation. Aza-TdC treatment partially reversed MASLD-related hypermethylation of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4α)- and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα)-regulated genes, restoring their transcriptional activity. Notably, Aza-TdC reactivated the gluconeogenic enzyme-encoding gene phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1), which was hypermethylated and transcriptionally repressed in MASLD. Targeted DNA methylation of the PCK1 promoter using CRISPRoff confirmed the direct epigenetic regulation of PCK1 expression.
Conclusions
Targeting DNMT1 may mitigate lipid dysregulation and inflammation by reversing hypermethylation and restoring HNF4α- and PPARα-dependent gene transcription, highlighting DNMT1 as a potential therapeutic target for MASLD.

Christian Brion, Stephen A. Hoang, Guangliang Wang, Faridodin Mirshahi, Jessie Ang, Matthew R. Long, Zheng Zhu, Bhanu Sakhamuri, Molly A. Srour, Mohammad S. Siddiqui, Amon Asgharpour, David J. Hayes, Neal C. Foster, David W. Salzman, Arun J. Sanyal
Received August 21, 2025  Accepted December 19, 2025  Published online December 26, 2025  
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2025.0933    [Accepted]
Background/Aims
MicroRNA isoforms (isomiRs) broaden the regulatory landscape of canonical microRNAs, but their role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remains unknown. We aimed to characterize the hepatic isomiR landscape in MASLD and define their association with disease activity and fibrosis.
Methods
Small RNA (sRNA) sequencing was performed on liver biopsies from 79 patients across the histological spectrum of MASLD. IsomiRs were annotated and quantified. Their association to disease activity and fibrosis score was assessed by differential expression, ordinal regression, and machine learning. Parallel mRNA sequencing and pathway enrichment were used to map isomiR–mRNA interactions and regulatory networks, which was validated against an independent dataset.
Results
MiRNAs accounted for 75% of sRNAs in liver tissue, of which 67% were isomiRs. Across MASLD severity, 173 isomiRs correlated with disease activity and 58 with fibrosis stage. Key findings included a miR-122 isomiR uniquely targeting INSIG1 (cholesterol metabolism) and a miR-21 isomiR targeting PPARA and HMGCS2 (lipid and fibrosis pathways). Integration with mRNA data revealed 33 dysregulated pathways, including PPAR signaling, insulin resistance, and TGF-β response. Several novel isomiRs from miR-26b, let-7c, and miR-32 families were also linked to lipid metabolism and fibrosis progression.
Conclusions
IsomiRs represent the majority of hepatic miRNAs and uncover novel regulatory networks masked by canonical miRNA analysis. These findings provide new insights into the molecular heterogeneity of MASLD, highlight candidate pathways driving disease progression, and identify potential biomarker and therapeutic targets for precision hepatology.

Normal-weight MASLD: reclassification, characteristics, and adverse liver outcomes across diverse populations
Sherlot Juan Song, Eileen Laureal Yoon, Vincent Wai-Sun Wong, Ae Jeong Jo, Grace Lai-Hung Wong, Jimmy Che-To Lai, Dae Won Jun, Terry Cheuk-Fung Yip
Received July 28, 2025  Accepted December 9, 2025  Published online December 12, 2025  
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2025.0851    [Accepted]
Background & Aims
Previous studies have identified a substantial degree of agreement between the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) populations, but the same notion may not apply to normal-weight patients with a lower cardiometabolic risk burden. This study aims to investigate the CMRF distributions between normal-weight and overweight/obese MASLD, the agreement between historical NAFLD and MASLD, and to compare the risk of liver-related events (LREs) and all-cause mortality in normal-weight versus overweight or obese MASLD.
Methods
This study included participants with steatotic liver disease (SLD) from five cohorts in Hong Kong, South Korea, and the United States. Participants were recruited from settings including both hospitals and communities. Individuals were classified into normal-weight and overweight/obese groups.
Results
This study included 33,793 participants with SLD from five cohorts, of whom 20,893 and 20,701 patients met the diagnosis of NAFLD and MASLD, respectively. Normal-weight patients with NAFLD demonstrated a lower CMRF distribution compared to those with overweight/obese NAFLD. In the community-based cohorts, the proportions of 0 CMRF ranged from 9.0-26.7% among normal-weight NAFLD, representing the discrepancy between MASLD and NAFLD definitions. Compared with the overweight/obese MASLD, the normal-weight MASLD had increased all-cause mortality (normal-weight vs. overweight/obese, 23.44 and 13.80 per 1000 person-years; p<0.001) but not LREs (2.81 and 2.59 per 1000 person-years; p=0.54) in the HK CDARS cohort.
Conclusions
Normal-weight individuals with NAFLD demonstrated a lower distribution of CMRFs, resulting in the incomplete agreement between historical NAFLD and MASLD.
Ethical Compliance
For all involved cohorts, the study protocols conformed to the ethical guidelines of the 1975 Declaration of Helsinki and were approved by the appropriate clinical research ethics committee and/or institutional review board, which provided either written consent or a waiver of informed consent.

Comparative risk of fibrosis progression with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 vs. dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus with low-to-intermediate fibrosis
Jonggi Choi, Daniel Fulop, Vy H. Nguyen, Eric Przybyszewski, Jiunn Song, Allison Carroll, Megan Michta, Erik Almazan, Tracey G. Simon, Raymond T. Chung
Clin Mol Hepatol 2026;32(1):305-317.
Published online November 11, 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2025.0825
Background/Aims
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a growing cause of cirrhosis and its complications. Given its close association with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), evaluating whether sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) can mitigate the progression of liver fibrosis is clinically important. We examined the association between SGLT2i use and liver fibrosis progression in patients diagnosed with MASLD and T2DM.
Methods
We conducted a target trial emulation study using a retrospective, active comparator new-user design among adults with MASLD, T2DM, and low-to-intermediate Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4≤2.67) scores who initiated treatment with either SGLT2is or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) at Mass General Brigham or Asan Medical Center from 2013 to 2023. The primary outcome was the progression to advanced fibrosis (FIB-4>2.67), confirmed on ≥2 occasions within 1 year. The secondary outcome was the development of major adverse liver outcomes (MALO), including incident cirrhosis, decompensation events, hepatocellular carcinoma, or liver transplantation.
Results
Among 16,901 eligible patients, 2,571 propensity score-matched pairs were identified with balanced baseline characteristics. During follow-up (median, 3.7 years), fibrosis progression occurred at a rate of 3.46/100 personyears in SGLT2i users and 4.44 in DPP4i users. SGLT2i use was associated with a lower risk of fibrosis progression (HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.67–0.89; P<0.001). No significant difference in MALO incidence was observed. Subgroup analyses showed a consistent association among users of metformin, statins, and aspirin.
Conclusions
SGLT2i use was associated with reduced risk of fibrotic progression compared to DPP4i use in adults with MASLD and T2DM.

Evaluating treatment response thresholds for cost-effective treatment in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
Eileen L. Yoon, Jeong-Yeon Cho, Huiyul Park, Mimi Kim, Ji-Hyeon Park, Hye-Lin Kim, Dae Won Jun
Clin Mol Hepatol 2026;32(1):276-288.
Published online November 3, 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2025.0796
Background/Aims
The first metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) drug was approved with an unsatisfactorily small effect size. This study aimed to determine key factors impacting the cost-effectiveness of a new hypothetical MASLD drug as well as its treatment efficacy.
Methods
A Markov model reflecting the natural history of MASLD was developed, incorporating fibrosis progression, cardiovascular disease risk, and mortality. Treatment effect of drug X (with $20,000 of annual cost) was assumed to achieve a ≥1 stage fibrosis regression, with a 25% gap of effect size in regression rate over non-treatment in the first year. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) over a 20-year horizon was estimated. And sensitivity analyses were conducted to explore uncertainty and identify influential factors.
Results
In the base case analysis, drug X provided an incremental gain of 1.32 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and 1.20 life years compared to the non-treatment, with an ICER of $68,010/QALY–below the $100,000/QALY willingnessto- pay threshold, indicating that drug X treatment is cost-effective. Two-way sensitivity analysis further highlighted that the drug should achieve at least a 15% initial regression gap and maintain a minimum 3% sustained durability gap to remain cost-effective. In addition baseline fibrosis stage distribution also acted as an influencing factor.
Conclusions
Long-term sustained durability of the hypothetical drug, patient distribution based on baseline fibrosis stage, as well as initial treatment response rate are key factors that influence the cost-effectiveness of new MASLD drugs.

Background/Aims
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) may progress to liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. So far, genome-wide association studies explain a small fraction of MASLD heritability.
Methods
We sought to identify novel genetic determinants of MASLD by exploring interactions between genetic variants and body mass index (BMI). First, we examined genome-wide interactions with BMI for circulating alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels using UK Biobank data. For identified loci, we next examined associations with hepatic proton density fat fraction (PDFF) in 35,146 independent UK Biobank participants. Associations with PDFF were replicated in four independent European cohorts, followed by a phenome-wide association study. Finally, we used human liver epigenomic maps and CRISPR/Cas9 experiments in vitro and in vivo to functionally characterize the CYP7A1 locus.
Results
Thirteen loci interact with BMI for ALT (P<5E-8), including eight well-known genetic modulators of MASLD. Two loci—UBXN2B/CYP7A1 and GIPR—are additionally associated with PDFF. For the intronic rs34783010 in GIPR, the minor T allele is associated with lower BMI and higher HbA1c and liver triglyceride content in humans. The UBXN2B/CYP7A1 locus is associated with PDFF in four additional European cohorts. Epigenomic data and in vitro experiments in human liver cells prioritise rs10504255 and CYP7A1 as the functional effectors in this locus. Perturbation of CYP7A1 orthologues using CRISPR/Cas9 results in less liver fat in 10-day-old, metabolically challenged zebrafish larvae.
Conclusions
A genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism×BMI design fuelled identification of two MASLD genes: CYP7A1 and GIPR.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2024.0642
Background/Aims
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a global epidemic. The disease has a strong genetic component, and a common missense variant (rs2642438) in the mitochondrial amidoxime-reducing component 1 (MARC1) gene confers protection against its onset and severity. However, there are contrasting results regarding the mechanisms that promote this protection.
Methods
We downregulated MARC1 in primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) using short interfering RNA (siRNA). We measured neutral lipid content by Oil-Red O staining and fatty acid oxidation by radiolabeled tracers. We also performed RNA-sequencing and proteomic analysis using LC-MS. Additionally, we analyzed data from 239,075 participants from the UK Biobank.
Results
Downregulation of MARC1 reduced neutral lipid content in PHHs homozygous for the wild type (p.A165, risk), but not for the mutant (p.T165, protective), allele. We found that this reduction was mediated by increased fatty acid utilization via β-oxidation. Consistent with these results, we found that the levels of 3-hydroxybutyrate, a by-product of β-oxidation, were higher in carriers of the rs2642438 minor allele among samples from the UK biobank, indicating higher β-oxidation in these individuals. Moreover, downregulation of the MARC1 p.A165 variant resulted in a more favorable phenotype by reducing ferroptosis and reactive oxygen species levels.
Conclusions
MARC1 downregulation in carriers of the risk allele results in lower hepatocyte neutral lipids content due to higher β-oxidation, while upregulating beneficial pathways involved in cell survival.

Background/Aims
Multi-society experts proposed the adoption of new terminology, metabolic dysfunctionassociated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and steatotic liver disease (SLD). We studied the current prevalence of SLD and its subcategories in the US.
Methods
Using the recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2017 to 2023, we analyzed data from 12,199 participants (≥18 years) who completed transient elastography. SLD and its subcategories, including MASLD, metabolic and alcohol-related liver disease (MetALD), and alcohol-related liver disease (ALD), were categorized according to consensus nomenclature.
Results
The age-adjusted prevalence of SLD (cut-off: 285 dB/m) was 35.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 33.4–36.7). Within this category, the age-adjusted prevalence for MASLD was 31.9% (95% CI 30.4–33.4), MetALD 2.2% (95% CI 1.8–2.6), and ALD 0.8% (95% CI 0.6–1.1). The prevalence of SLD and MASLD showed a statistically insignificant decrease during COVID-19, while ALD increased without significance. In contrast, the prevalence of advanced fibrosis in SLD was significantly higher during the COVID-19 era, at 9.8% for 285 dB/m and 7.8% for 263 dB/m, compared to 7.4% (P=0.039) and 6% (P=0.041) in the pre-COVID-19 era. The proportion of advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis in individuals with ALD was two-fold higher than MASLD and MetALD, largely due to increases during the COVID-19 era.
Conclusions
While the prevalence of SLD and its subcategories remained stable, there was a significant increase in advanced fibrosis among SLD individuals during the COVID-19 era, with ALD having a proportion of advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis that was twice as high as MASLD and MetALD.

One-third of adults across the globe exhibit metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)―formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). To date, MASLD is the fastest-growing etiology of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Besides the population with obesity, MASLD can also be found in lean populations, accounting for 13% of the global population, especially Asians. Notably, individuals with lean MASLD face equal or higher overall mortality rates compared to their non-lean counterparts. Risk modifiers encompass advanced age, hepatic fibrosis, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Moreover, the population with lean MASLD is associated with an increased risk of HCC, while their non-lean counterparts are more prone to cardiovascular outcomes and T2DM. Existing evidence indicates a similar risk of liver-related events and extrahepatic cancer between the two groups. However, MASLD-related genetic variants, such as PNPLA3 and TM6SF2, did not significantly affect mortality between the two populations. Still, underreporting alcohol consumption and regional representation limits the study’s comprehensiveness. Longitudinal studies and mechanistic explorations are needed to understand differences in lean versus non-lean MASLD populations. This review highlights the need for awareness and tailored interventions in managing MASLD, considering lean individuals’ unique risks.

Steatotic liver disease

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease exhibits sex-specific microbial heterogeneity within intestinal compartments

Clin Mol Hepatol 2025;31(1):179-195.
Published online October 11, 2024

Background/Aims
Evidence suggests that the gastrointestinal microbiome plays a significant role in the biology of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, it remains unclear whether disparities in the gut microbiome across intestinal tissular compartments between the sexes lead to MASLD pathogenesis.
Methods
Sex-specific analyses of microbiome composition in two anatomically distinct regions of the gut, the small intestine and colon, were performed using an experimental model of MASLD. The study involved male and female spontaneously hypertensive rats and the Wistar-Kyoto control rat strain, which were fed either a standard chow diet or a high-fat diet for 12 weeks to induce MASLD (12 rats per group). High-throughput 16S sequencing was used for microbiome analysis.
Results
There were significant differences in the overall microbiome composition of male and female rats with MASLD, including variations in topographical gut regions. The beta diversity of the jejunal and colon microbiomes was higher in female rats than in male rats (PERMANOVA p-value=0.001). Sex-specific analysis and discriminant features using LEfSe showed considerable variation in bacterial abundance, along with distinct functional properties, in the jejunum and colon of animals with MASLD. Significantly elevated levels of lipopolysaccharide and protein expression of Toll-like receptor 4 were observed in the livers of male rats with MASLD compared with their female counterparts.
Conclusions
This study uncovered sexual dimorphism in the gut microbiome of MASLD and identified microbial heterogeneity within intestinal compartments. Insights into sex-specific variations in gut microbiome composition could facilitate customised treatment strategies.

Steatotic liver disease

Epidemiology of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
Zobair M. Younossi, Markos Kalligeros, Linda Henry
Clin Mol Hepatol 2025;31(Suppl):S32-S50.

As the rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) continue to increase globally, so does the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Currently, 38% of all adults and 7–14% of children and adolescents have MASLD. By 2040, the MASLD prevalence rate for adults is projected to increase to more than 55%. Although MASLD does not always develop into progressive liver disease, it has become the top indication for liver transplant in the United States for women and those with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nonetheless, the most common cause of mortality among patients with MASLD remains cardiovascular disease. In addition to liver outcomes (cirrhosis and HCC), MASLD is associated with an increased risk of developing de novo T2D, chronic kidney disease, sarcopenia, and extrahepatic cancers. Furthermore, MASLD is associated with decreased health-related quality of life, decreased work productivity, fatigue, increased healthcare resource utilization, and a substantial economic burden. Similar to other metabolic diseases, lifestyle interventions such as a heathy diet and increased physical activity remain the cornerstone of managing these patients. Although several obesity and T2D drugs are available to treat co-morbid disease, resmetirom is the only MASH-targeted medication for patients with stage 2–3 fibrosis that has approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States. This review discusses MASLD epidemiology and its related risk factors and outcomes and demonstrates that without further global initiatives, MASLD incidence could continue to increase.

Background/Aims
Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is a common manifestation in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Metabolic alterations in CHC are associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We aimed to elucidate whether hepatitis C virus (HCV) eradication mitigates MASLD occurrence or resolution.
Methods
We enrolled 5,840 CHC patients whose HCV was eradicated by direct-acting antivirals in a nationwide HCV registry. MASLD and the associated cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) were evaluated at baseline and 6 months after HCV cure.
Results
There were 2,147 (36.8%) patients with SLD, and 1,986 (34.0%) of them met the MASLD criteria before treatment. After treatment, HbA1c (6.0% vs. 5.9%, P<0.001) and BMI (24.8 kg/m2 vs. 24.7 kg/m2, P<0.001) decreased, whereas HDL-C (49.1 mg/dL vs. 51.9 mg/dL, P<0.001) and triglycerides (102.8 mg/dL vs. 111.9 mg/dL, P<0.001) increased significantly. The proportion of patients with SLD was 37.5% after HCV eradication, which did not change significantly compared with the pretreatment status. The percentage of the patients who had post-treatment MASLD was 34.8%, which did not differ significantly from the pretreatment status (P=0.17). Body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio [OR] 0.89; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.85–0.92; P<0.001) was the only factor associated with MASLD resolution. In contrast, unfavorable CMRFs, including BMI (OR 1.10; 95% CI 1.06–1.14; P<0.001) and HbA1c (OR 1.19; 95% CI 1.04–1.35; P=0.01), were independently associated with MASLD development after HCV cure.
Conclusions
HCV eradication mitigates MASLD in CHC patients. CMRF surveillance is mandatory for CHC patients with metabolic alterations, which are altered after HCV eradication and predict the evolution of MASLD.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.3350/cmh.2024.0229
Background/Aims
Blocking the complement system is a promising strategy to impede the progression of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the interplay between complement and MASLD remains to be elucidated. This comprehensive approach aimed to investigate the potential association between complement dysregulation and the histological severity of MASLD.
Methods
Liver biopsy specimens were procured from a cohort comprising 106 Korean individuals, which included 31 controls, 17 with isolated steatosis, and 58 with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Utilizing the Infinium Methylation EPIC array, thorough analysis of methylation alterations in 61 complement genes was conducted. The expression and methylation of nine complement genes in a murine MASH model were examined using quantitative RT-PCR and pyrosequencing.
Results
Methylome and transcriptome analyses of liver biopsies revealed significant (P<0.05) hypermethylation and downregulation of C1R, C1S, C3, C6, C4BPA, and SERPING1, as well as hypomethylation (P<0.0005) and upregulation (P<0.05) of C5AR1, C7, and CD59, in association with the histological severity of MASLD. Furthermore, DNA methylation and the relative expression of nine complement genes in a MASH diet mouse model aligned with human data.
Conclusions
Our research provides compelling evidence that epigenetic alterations in complement genes correlate with MASLD severity, offering valuable insights into the mechanisms driving MASLD progression, and suggests that inhibiting the function of certain complement proteins may be a promising strategy for managing MASLD.

Steatotic liver disease

Role of noninvasive tests in the prognostication of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease

In managing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, which affects over 30% of the general population, effective noninvasive biomarkers for assessing disease severity, monitoring disease progression, predicting the development of liver-related complications, and assessing treatment response are crucial. The advantage of simple fibrosis scores lies in their widespread accessibility through routinely performed blood tests and extensive validation in different clinical settings. They have shown reasonable accuracy in diagnosing advanced fibrosis and good performance in excluding the majority of patients with a low risk of liver-related complications. Among patients with elevated serum fibrosis scores, a more specific fibrosis and imaging biomarker has proved useful to accurately identify patients at risk of liver-related complications. Among specific fibrosis blood biomarkers, enhanced liver fibrosis is the most widely utilized and has been approved in the United States as a prognostic biomarker. For imaging biomarkers, the availability of vibration-controlled transient elastography has been largely improved over the past years, enabling the use of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) for accurate assessment of significant and advanced fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Combining LSM with other routinely available blood tests enhances the ability to diagnose at-risk metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis and predict liver-related complications, some reaching an accuracy comparable to that of liver biopsy. Magnetic resonance imaging-based modalities provide the most accurate quantification of liver fibrosis, though the current utilization is limited to research settings. Expanding their future use in clinical practice depends on factors such as cost and facility availability.

Background/Aims
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterized by fat accumulation in the liver. MASLD encompasses both steatosis and MASH. Since MASH can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer, steatosis and MASH must be distinguished during patient treatment. Here, we investigate the genomes, epigenomes, and transcriptomes of MASLD patients to identify signature gene set for more accurate tracking of MASLD progression.
Methods
Biopsy-tissue and blood samples from patients with 134 MASLD, comprising 60 steatosis and 74 MASH patients were performed omics analysis. SVM learning algorithm were used to calculate most predictive features. Linear regression was applied to find signature gene set that distinguish the stage of MASLD and to validate their application into independent cohort of MASLD.
Results
After performing WGS, WES, WGBS, and total RNA-seq on 134 biopsy samples from confirmed MASLD patients, we provided 1,955 MASLD-associated features, out of 3,176 somatic variant callings, 58 DMRs, and 1,393 DEGs that track MASLD progression. Then, we used a SVM learning algorithm to analyze the data and select the most predictive features. Using linear regression, we identified a signature gene set capable of differentiating the various stages of MASLD and verified it in different independent cohorts of MASLD and a liver cancer cohort.
Conclusions
We identified a signature gene set (i.e., CAPG, HYAL3, WIPI1, TREM2, SPP1, and RNASE6) with strong potential as a panel of diagnostic genes of MASLD-associated disease.
