How do organs and cells crosstalk in NAFLD/NASH?Crosstalk among normal/steatotic hepatocytes,immune cells,HSCs and the organ network is anintriguing theme in the context of NAFLD/NASH pathogenesis.Especially,contribution of gut-liver axis and microbiota to NASH development is drawing much attention(Table 4)[94-96].Although the merits of direct manipulation of the intestinal microbiota with antibiotics,prebiotics,or probiotics are debatable for human NAFLD/NASH due to the sheer diversity of microbiota,modulation of the gut-liver axis to target microbiota-derived metabolites is considered an attractive option.For instance,microbiota-derived deoxycholate evoked senescence-associated secretory phenotypes in HSCs and facilitated HCC development in hepatocarcinogen-primed genetically obese or high fat diet-fed mice[97].Microbiota-derived taurocholate stimulated ceramide synthesis in enterocytes through FXR in mice,after which circulating ceramide promotes hepatic steatosis[28].However,the applicability of these mechanisms to humans remains unclear.Recently,it was reported that microbiotaderived short-chain fatty acids lowered resting regulatory T-cells and associated with systemic T-cell activation in humans[96].As such,discovering the pathogenic molecules that mediate organ/cell crosstalk and contribute to NAFLD/NASHdevelopment in humans will provide much needed insights into disease management[31,98].
