Inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A in hepatic stellate cells protects against fibrosis
One of the most common types of fibrotic liver occurs in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which may develop into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the primary fibrogenic cell type activated following liver injury, moving from a quiescent phenotype rich in vitamin A into activated myofibroblast-like cells with proliferative and migratory properties.This work has been supported by grants from FEDER/Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades-Agencia Estatal de Investigación (DS and LH: SAF2017-83813-C3-1-R; MLMC: RTC2019-007125-1; CD: BFU2017-87721; ML: RTI2018–101840-B-I00; RN: RTI2018-099413-B-I00 and RED2018-102379-T; MLMC: SAF2017-87301-R; TCD: RTI2018-096759-A-100), Xunta de Galicia (ML: 2016-PG068; RN: 2015-CP080 and 2016-PG057), Fundación BBVA (RN and MLM), Proyectos Investigación en Salud (MLMC: DTS20/00138), Sistema Universitario Vasco (PA: IT971-16); Fundacion Araucaria (ML and RN), Gilead Sciences International Research Scholars Program in Liver Disease (MVR), Marató TV3 Foundation (DS: 201627), Government of Catalonia (DS: 2017SGR278) and European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes (RN).
