Dietary cholesterol promotes steatohepatitis related hepatocellular carcinoma through dysregulated metabolism and calcium signaling

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and dietary cholesterol are risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, the authors utilise mouse models to show that dietary cholesterol induces NASH by deregulating genes involved in metabolism, inflammation and calcium signaling to induce NASH-HCC.
