Inhibiting MS4A7 for MASH
Inhibiting the transmembrane protein MS4A7 could help treat metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), also known as NASH, by decreasing NLRP3-driven adoption of pathogenic liver macrophage phenotypes in response to lipid droplets released from steatotic hepatocytes.
Single cell RNA sequencing of disease-associated, TREM2-positive macrophages from mouse livers identified MS4A7 as highly expressed in these cells during MASH. ...
