Abstract

The present study aimed to clarify whether a bile ductular reaction induces liver fibrosis in the dietarily induced mouse NASH model, using the expression of SRY-box9 (Sox9) as a biomarker. In the liver of mice fed a special CDAHFD-0.1 diet for 14 days, steatosis became remarkable with slight fibrosis, and the extra-bile duct Sox9 expression was observed. At the end of week 13, fibrosis became prominent, and the Sox9 expression was marked and diffuse. In conclusion, the Sox9 expression may not be a consequence of NASH-derived liver fibrosis, but involved in its development and progression.
