A proteo-transcriptomic map of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease signatures.

ABSTRACT: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common, progressive liver disease strongly associated with the metabolic syndrome. It is unclear how progression of NAFLD towards cirrhosis translates into systematic changes in circulating proteins. Here, we provide a detailed proteo-transcriptomic map of steatohepatitis and fibrosis during progressive NAFLD. In this multicentre proteomic study, we characterize 4,730 circulating proteins in 306 patients with histologically characterized NAFLD and integrate this with transcriptomic analysis in paired liver tissue. We identify circulating proteomic signatures for active steatohepatitis and advanced fibrosis, and correlate these with hepatic transcriptomics to develop a proteo-transcriptomic signature of 31 markers.
