Some of them seem to be predominantly protective (tumor necrosis factor weak inducer of apoptosis, IL-10, IL-22, IL-25, IL-27), others appear to exhibit a possibly dual-faceted effect, depending on the stage of MASLD (TNF-α, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, IL-2, IL-6, IL-18, IL-33, IFNs), whereas a third group of cytokines seems to be predominantly harmful, thus driving the progression of hepatic steatosis to MASH, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and possibly to hepatocellular carcinoma. This evidence concerns the gene IL33 and fatty liver disease.
