Abstract
Methods for treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma include administering a polypeptide antagonist of a Na/K ATPase/Src receptor complex to a subject in need thereof. Methods and assays for diagnosis or prognosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma in a subject are also provided and include the steps of providing a biological sample from the subject, determining an expression level or activity in the sample of at least one biomarker selected from Caveolin-1, Survivin, and SMAC; and comparing the expression level or activity of the at least one biomarker in the sample, if present, to a control expression level or activity of the at least one biomarker. Prophylaxis or treatment of the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma in a subject can then be initiated based on the expression level or activity of Caveolin-1, Survivin, and SMAC in the sample.
