In our patients, we show here that gene expression of CXCL8 (IL8) and its receptor CXCR1; CXCL1, 3 and their receptor CXCR2; CCL3-5 and their receptor CCR5; CCL2 (MCP1); CXCL9-11; CD62E (E-Selectin) and CD44 are strongly upregulated in NASH patients. The gene discussed is CXCR1; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
