The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) plays a central role in liver fibrosis, however non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated liver fibrogenesis have been poorly understood. We aimed to determine the significance of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR)/osteopontin (OPN)/high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) axis in this setting. Liver specimens were collected from NAFLD patients and murine NAFLD models established with 12-week high fat diet (HFD) for analysis of both upstream signals of MR and intrahepatic MR/OPN/HMGB1 axis.
