METTL3 and non-alcoholic fatty liver: Hepatocyte-specific deletion of Mettl3 drives NAFL-to-NASH progression by increasing CD36-mediated hepatic free fatty acid uptake and CCL2-induced inflammation, which is due to increased chromatin accessibility in the promoter region of Cd36 and Ccl2. Antibody blockade of CD36 and CCL2 ameliorates NASH progression in hepatic Mettl3 knockout mice.
