Long noncoding RNA licensing of obesity-linked hepatic lipogenesis and NAFLD pathogenesis

The LXR-SREBP1c pathway promotes hepatic lipogenesis that is deregualted in fatty liver disease. Here the authors show that the long noncoding RNA Blnc1 contributes to the development of obesity-driven steatosis by enabling SREBP1c trascriptional activity in response to LXR activation.
