Excess intake of food and alcohol induces the non-alcoholic fatty liver and alcoholic fatty liver, respectively. The malignancy of these fatty liver occurs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through hepatic cirrhosis. Previously, transcription factor CREBH was indicated as a new suppression factor of HCC. However, it remains unclear how CREBH suppresses HCC via non-alcoholic fatty liver. This study aims to elucidate the suppression mechanism of HCC by CREBH. As these results, RNA-sea analysis revealed the lower gene expression of ER-phagy receptor in the liver of CREBH KO mouse. Additionally, CREBH KO primary hepatocyte showed the reduction of mRNA and protein level of the identified ER-phagy receptor.
