GSE134512 dataset that analyzed the transcriptome of activated fibroblasts from NASH livers and discovered that Emp1 was significantly elevated in both CCl4-induced and NASH-induced fibroblasts when compared to activated HSCs (log2FC = 2.116, P = 0.00228; Figure 4(e)). Here, EMP1 is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
