Furthermore, it has been reported that TGF‐β signalling in hepatocytes contributes to hepatocyte death and lipid accumulation that promote the development of NASH.42 In real‐time validation experiments, we used primers able to amplify both mRNA encoding for TGFB2 and lncRNA TGFB2‐Overlapping Transcript 1, a newly discovered lncRNA deriving from the 3'‐UTR of TGFB2. Here, TGFB2 is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
