Published: February 2007

There is no proven medical treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Most prior therapeutic trials have had methodologic limitations. Insulin sensitizers are the more promising therapeutic candidates among categories that include antioxidants, lipid-lowering agents, and antiobesity drugs. The future will see the evaluation of novel agents and a comprehensive treatment strategy that addresses the risk factors for the metabolic syndrome. This article reviews the current status of medical management options for NASH.

Electronic address:

NEK2, a serine/threonine protein kinase, is integral to mitotic events such as centrosome duplication and separation, microtubule stabilization, spindle assembly checkpoint, and kinetochore attachment. However, NEK2 overexpression leads to centrosome amplification and chromosomal instability, which are significantly associated with various malignancies, including liver, breast, and non-small cell lung cancer. This overexpression could facilitate tumor development and confer resistance to therapy by promoting aberrant cell division and centrosome amplification.
