In a previous study, we reported on the first RNA sequencing-based transcriptome profiles of BECs isolated from alcoholic steatohepatitis patients through EpCAM- or TROP2-based FACS sorting (respectively epithelial cell adhesion molecule (TACSTD1) and trophoblast antigen 2 (TACSTD2) [25]. Here, TACSTD2 is linked to alcoholic fatty liver disease.
