Hepatocyte TNF Receptor–Associated Factor 6 Aggravates Hepatic Inflammation and Fibrosis by Promoting Lysine 6–Linked Polyubiquitination of Apoptosis Signal‐Regulating Kinase 1

Activation of apoptosis signal‐regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is a key driving force of the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and represents an attractive therapeutic target for NASH treatment. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying ASK1 activation in the pathogenesis of NASH remain incompletely understood. In this study, our data unequivocally indicated that hyperactivated ASK1 in hepatocytes is a potent inducer...
