Abstract in brief

  • The study reveals that NAFLD-associated liver cancer has distinct molecular features, especially involving mutations in CTNNB1 and TP53, which influence tumor development and immune system interactions.
  • Mutations and dysregulated transcription factors, such as MAZ and MYC, drive abnormal gene regulation and contribute to tumor growth, with a notable predominance of CTNNB1 mutations in NAFLD-related cases.
  • A key discovery is the role of CTNNB1 in promoting immune evasion by upregulating TNFRSF19, which suppresses inflammatory cytokines, a process that can be reversed with Wnt pathway inhibitors like ICG001.
