SQSTM1 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: In 59 NAFLD patients, lipid droplet-loaded lysosomes/lipolysosomes and p62/SQSTM1 clusters correlated with NAFLD activity score (NAS) and with NAS and fibrosis stage, respectively, and levels of expression of lysosomal genes, as well as autophagy-related genes, correlated with NAS and fibrosis stage.
