الوصف: Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a spectrum of liver conditions characterized by fat accumulation without excessive alcohol consumption, represents a significant global health burden. The intricate molecular landscape underlying NAFLD pathogenesis involves lipid handling, inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress emerging as a key contributor. ER stress triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), impacting hepatic steatosis in NAFLD and contributing to inflammation, fibrosis, and progression to NASH and eventually hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Heat shock proteins (HSPs), including small HSPs such as HSP20 and HSP27, HSP60, HSP70, GRP78, and HSP90, are integral to cellular stress responses. They aid in protein folding, prevent aggregation, and facilitate degradation, thus mitigating cellular damage under stress conditions. In NAFLD, aberrant HSP expression and function contribute to disease pathogenesis. Understanding the specific roles of HSP subtypes in NAFLD offers insights into potential therapeutic interventions. This review discusses the involvement of HSPs in NAFLD pathophysiology and highlights their therapeutic potential. By elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying HSP-mediated protection in NAFLD, this article aims to pave the way for the development of targeted therapies for this prevalent liver disorder.
