MicroRNA expression profile in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

ABSTRACT: Simple steatosis (SS) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are subtypes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The difference in pathogenesis between SS and NASH is still not clear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding short RNAs that regulate gene expression. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of miRNA expression profiles with SS and NASH in animal models and humans. Animal models DD Shionogi (DS), Fatty Liver Shionogi (FLS Wild; W), and FLS ob/ob mice were subjected as the normal control, SS model and NASH model, respectively. Male DS mice (Riken BRC No. 03706) were provided by Riken bio-resource center through the national bio-resource project of Japan. Male FLS W and male FLS-ob/ob mice were obtained from Shionogi research laboratories (Shiga, Japan). An
