Comparative RNA-sequencing profiled the differential gene expression of liver in response to acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitor GS-0976 in a mouse model of NASH

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive liver disease characterized by hepatic steatosis, lobular inflammation and fibrosis. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) isoform 1 and 2 involved in de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and fatty acid oxidation have been identified as a therapeutic target in NASH. GS-0976, the inhibitor of ACC1 and ACC2, has achieved favorable therapeutic effects in clinical trials with NASH. The purpose of this study was to...
