Expression of STING Is Increased in Liver Tissues from Patients With NAFLD and Promotes Macrophage-mediated Hepatic Inflammation and Fibrosis in Mice

Transmembrane protein 173 (TMEM173 or STING) signaling by macrophage activates the type I interferon-mediated innate immune response. The innate immune response contributes to hepatic steatosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated wither STING regulates diet-induced in hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and liver fibrosis in mice.
