This notion was further supported by recent findings, showing that inhibition of canonical IKKβ significantly attenuates hepatic inflammation and fibrogenesis in mice with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease by reducing NF‐κB activation.25 However, the roles of TBK1 and IKKε in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis are still unknown. The gene discussed is IKBKB; the disease is Hepatic fibrosis.
