Parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) is a major complication for patients who require long-term parenteral nutrition. Treatment options for PNALD are limited and its pathogenesis is poorly understood. Tribbles homolog 3 (TRB3) is a pseudokinase that modulates many signal transduction cascades and may be involved in the pathogenesis of PNALD. The aim of this study was to examine the role of TRB3 in palmitate-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, in the human liver cell line L02.
