Agonist of RORA Attenuates Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Progression in Mice via Upregulation of microRNA 122

Development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is associated with reductions in hepatic microRNA122 (MIR122); the RAR related orphan receptor A (RORA) promotes expression of MIR122. Increasing expression of RORA in livers of mice increases expression of MIR122 and reduces lipotoxicity. We investigated the effects of a RORA agonist in mouse models of NASH.
