CXCL9 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: A total of five SWDEGs (CXCL9, GIMAP2, ADAMTS5, GRAP, and PRF1) were screened from the intersection of SDEGs, IBD positively correlated gene modules (‘MEblack’, ‘MEyellow’, and ‘MEblue’) and NASH positively related gene module (‘MEbrown’) (Fig. 5E).
