(a) The 61 out of 71 mRNAs (85.9%) of glycolysis pathway enzyme genes are regulated in human and mouse NASH/NAFLD. Glycolysis pathway enzyme gene expression (PMID: 31153039) for human NASH studies (GSE17470 and GSE63067), MCD+HFD (GSE35961), HFC (GSE53381), MAT1A-KO (GSE63027), and GNMT-KO (GSE63027). The first human NASH study (GSE17470) upregulated 25 out of 71 (35.2%) and downregulated 5 out of 71 (7%) glycolysis enzymes. The second human NASH study (GSE63067) upregulated 5 out of 71 (7%) and downregulated 0 out of 71 (0%) glycolysis enzymes. The MCD+HFD model upregulated 20 out of 71 (28.2%) and downregulated 24 out of 71 (33.8%) glycolysis enzymes. The MAT1A-KO model upregulated 6 out of 71 (8.5%) and downregulated 13 out of 71 (18.3%) glycolysis enzymes. The GNMT-KO model upregulated 7 out of 71 (9.9%) and downregulated 4 out of 71 (5.6%) glycolysis enzymes. The HFCD model upregulated 17 out of 71 (23.9%) and downregulated 8 out of 71 (11.3%) glycolysis enzymes. The 71 glycolysis pathway genes are shown in Supplementary Table 3a. (b) The 13 out of 24 mRNA (54.2%) of acetyl-CoA generating enzyme are regulated in human and mouse NASH/NAFLD. Acetyl-CoA generating pathway enzyme gene expression (PMID: 31153039) for human NASH studies (GSE17470 and GSE63067), MCD+HFD (GSE35961), HFC (GSE53381), MAT1A-KO (GSE63027), and GNMT-KO (GSE63027). The first human NASH study upregulated 4 out of 24 (16.6%) and downregulated 0 out of 24 (0%) acetyl-CoA generation enzymes. The second human NASH study upregulated 1 out of 24 (4.2%) and downregulated 0 out of 24 (0%) acetyl-CoA generation enzymes. The MCD+HFD model upregulated 3 out of 24 (12.5%) and downregulated 7 out of 24 (29.2%) acetyl-CoA generation enzymes. The MAT1A-KO model upregulated 1 out of 24 (4.2%) and downregulated 4 out of 24 (16.7%) acetyl-CoA generation enzymes. The GNMT-KO model upregulated 2 out of 24 (8.3%) and downregulated 0 out of 24 (0%) acetyl-CoA generation enzymes. The HFCD model upregulated 7 out of 24 (29.2%) and downregulated 2 out of 24 (8.3%) acetyl-CoA generation enzymes. The 24 acetyl-CoA generating enzyme genes are shown in Supplementary Table 3b. (c) The 10 out of 10 mRNAs (100%) of mevalonate pathway enzyme genes are regulated in human and mouse NASH/NAFLD. Mevalonate pathway enzyme gene expression (PMID 31153039 and PMID 29328908) for human NASH studies (GSE17470 and GSE63067), MCD+HFD (GSE35961), HFC (GSE53381), MAT1A-KO (GSE63027), and GNMT-KO (GSE63027). The first human NASH study upregulated 2 out of 10 (20%) and downregulated 3 out of 10 (30%) mevalonate pathway enzymes. The second human NASH study upregulated 1 out of 10 (10%) and downregulated 0 out of 10 (0%) mevalonate pathway enzymes. The MCD+HFD model upregulated 7 out of 10 (70%) and downregulated 1 out of 10 (10%) mevalonate pathway enzymes. The MAT1A-KO model upregulated 4 out of 10 (40%) and downregulated 1 out of 10 (10%) mevalonate pathway enzymes. The GNMT-KO model upregulated 3 out of 10 (30%) and downregulated 0 out of 24 (0%) mevalonate pathway enzymes. The HFCD model upregulated 7 out of 10 (70%) and downregulated 0 out of 10 (0%) mevalonate pathway enzymes. The 10 mevalonate pathway enzyme genes are shown in Supplementary Table 3C.
