Moreover, analysis of differentially expressed proteins revealed that compared to healthy (-NASH-MSC) control livers, +NASH-MSC livers showed a marked decrease in the expression of mitochondrial proteins Ndufa7 (NADH dehydrogenase 1 alpha subunit 7, KEGG: Oxidative phosphorylation, NAFLD), Cox2 (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2, KEGG: Oxidative phosphorylation, NAFLD), and Hadh (hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, KEGG: Fatty acid elongation, degradation, and metabolism). The gene discussed is NDUFA7; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
