Yes‐associated protein (YAP) plays an important role in hepatocarcinogenesis, although the potential role of YAP in non‐neoplastic liver diseases remains largely unknown. We report herein that YAP in Kupffer cells (KCs) enhances the production of proinflammatory cytokines and promotes the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Our data show that the expression of YAP is significantly increased in KCs of wild‐type mice fed a high‐fat diet (HFD).
