STAT3 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: Several NASH-related signaling pathways were enriched, such as ECM–receptor interaction, cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, and the TGF-beta signaling pathway, as well as the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, in the comparison of NASH vs. control; in addition, the Toll-like receptor and Jak-STAT3 were enriched in the comparison of NASH_R vs. NASH.
