摘要

The incidence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is increasing worldwide, and effective treatment is urgently needed. To understand the molecular mechanisms behind the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in treating NASH, we integrated single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data to identify the role of liver macrophage polarization in alleviating NASH and screen possible drugs for treatment. Analysis revealed that bariatric surgery alleviates NASH by inhibiting liver M1 macrophage polarization with 12 differentially expressed M1 macrophage-related genes. Additionally, 56 potentially effective drugs were predicted for NASH treatment. These findings shed light on the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in treating NASH and offer potential drug candidates for further exploration.
