Currently, no pharmacological approach has demonstrated consistent and long-lasting benefits across all patients. Therefore, identifying new therapeutic targets remains an urgent clinical need. The hepatic serine protease matriptase-2, encoded by <i>TMPRSS6</i>, inhibits the BMP-SMAD pathway. Interestingly, reduced BMP-SMAD signalling in the liver is frequently associated with altered lipid metabolism in patients. Conversely, inactivation of <i>Tmprss6</i> has been linked to reduced high-fat diet-induced obesity. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that TMPRSS6 represents a novel and promising target for the treatment of MASLD.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Hepatic <i>TMPRSS6</i> expression was analysed in obese patients with or without MASLD. Adult male mice were fed a MASLD-MASH diet, and once hepatosteatosis was established, they were treated with antisense oligonucleotides targeting <i>Tmprss6</i> while continuing the dietary regimen for an additional 6 weeks.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The expression of the BMP-SMAD inhibitor <i>TMPRSS6</i> was increased in people with MASLD and negatively correlated with PPARα signaling, a key regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism. In experimental MASLD, downregulation of hepatocytic <i>Tmprss6</i> using GalNAc-ASO significantly reduced steatohepatitis and fibrosis and attenuated MASLD-MASH-associated ferroptosis by reshaping hepatic transcription factor activity towards PPARα and SMAD4/SMAD5-driven signalling.

It is strongly associated with the interplay of genetic and lifestyle-related risk factors. The genetic variant accounting for the largest fraction of SLD heritability is &lt;i&gt;PNPLA3&lt;/i&gt; I148M, which is carried by 23% of the western population and increases the risk of SLD two to three-fold. However, identification of variant carriers is not part of routine clinical care and prevents patients from receiving personalised care.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Methods&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;We analysed MRI images and common genetic variants in &lt;i&gt;PNPLA3, TM6SF2, MTARC1, HSD17B13&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;GCKR&lt;/i&gt; from a cohort of 45 603 individuals from the UK Biobank. Proton density fat fraction (PDFF) maps were generated using a water-fat separation toolbox, applied to the magnitude and phase MRI data. The liver region was segmented using a U-Net model trained on 600 manually segmented ground truth images. The resulting liver masks and PDFF maps were subsequently used to calculate liver PDFF values. Individuals with (PDFF ≥ 5%) and without SLD (PDFF &lt; 5%) were selected as the study cohort and used to train and test a Vision Transformer classification model with five-fold cross validation. We aimed to differentiate individuals who are homozygous for the &lt;i&gt;PNPLA3&lt;/i&gt; I148M variant from non-carriers, as evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). To ensure a clear genetic contrast, all heterozygous individuals were excluded.

The AUROCs for the other SNPs ranged from 0.54 to 0.57 in SLD patients and from 0.52 to 0.54 in non-SLD patients. The predictive performance was generally higher in SLD patients compared to non-SLD patients.

Much progress has been made to non-invasively monitor liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in individuals with other liver diseases, but it remains unclear how to assess liver disease in people with AATD. This narrative review examined the available evidence on non-invasive tests (NITs) to stage liver fibrosis and predict incident major adverse liver outcomes in people with AATD. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), blood-based NITs, and serum liver enzymes are generally normal or mildly elevated in individuals with AATD. Further, VCTE-LSM and blood-based NITs, including the AST to platelet ratio index and fibrosis-4 score, have diagnostic utility for predicting F2 and F3 fibrosis and hold excellent (AUROC ≥ 0.90) prognostic value for incident major adverse liver outcomes. Gamma-glutamyl transferase also exhibits diagnostic and prognostic utility but is subject to multiple non-AATD-related fluctuations. A potential strategy to non-invasively assess liver disease stage and estimate the risk of major adverse liver outcomes in people with AATD could consist of a combination of VCTE-LSM with blood-based biomarker panels.
