Sonic hedgehog-heat shock protein 90β axis promotes the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in mice

Abstract Sonic hedgehog (SHH) and heat shock protein 90β (HSP90β) have been implicated in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) but their molecular mechanisms of action remain elusive. We find that HSP90β is a key SHH downstream molecule for promoting NASH process. In hepatocytes, SHH reduces HSP90β u...
