Development and progression of liver diseases, from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to steatohepatitis (NASH), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), seem to be accompanied by a dysregulation of the expression of alternative splicing variants (SVs) and appearance of aberrant SVs. The splicing factor 3B subunit 1 (SF3B1) represents a crucial player for the functional assembly of the spliceosome, the core machinery that controls the splicing process, and its activity can ...
