LRP6 and fatty liver disease: As proof of concept, we revealed that the repression of LRP6 by miR-182–5 p, which promotes lipogenesis and impairs glucose homeostasis, provides a novel mechanistic link between T2D and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and demonstrate in vivo that miR-182–5 p can serve as a future drug target for the treatment of obesity-driven hepatic steatosis.
