Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a major cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Liver fibrosis stage, a key component of NASH, has been linked to the risk of mortality and liver-related clinical outcomes. Currently there are no validated noninvasive diagnostics that can differentiate between fibrosis stages in patients with NASH; many existing tests do not reflect underlying disease pathophysiology. Noninvasive biomarkers are needed to identify patients at high-risk of NASH with advanced fibrosis. This was a retrospective study of patients with histologically proven NASH with fibrosis stages 0-4. The SOMAscan proteomics platform was used to quantify 1,305 serum proteins in a discovery cohort (n = 113). In patients with advanced (stages 3-4) versus early fibrosis (stages 0-2), 97 proteins with diverse biological functions were differentially expressed. Next, fibrosis-stage classification models were explored using a machine learning-based approach to prioritize the biomarkers for further evaluation. A four-protein model differentiated patients with stage 0-1 versus stage 2-4 fibrosis (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC] = 0.74), while a 12-protein classifier differentiated advanced versus early fibrosis (AUROC = 0.83). Subsequently, the model's performance was validated in two independent cohorts (n = 71 and n = 32) with similar results (AUROC = 0.74-0.78). Our advanced fibrosis model performed similarly to or better than Fibrosis-4 index, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) fibrosis score-based models for all three cohorts. A SOMAscan proteomics-based exploratory classifier for advanced fibrosis, consisting of biomarkers that reflect the complexity of NASH pathophysiology, demonstrated similar performance in independent validation cohorts and performed similarly or better than Fibrosis-4 index, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index, and NAFLD fibrosis score. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the clinical utility of these biomarker panels in patients with NAFLD.
