A20 expression is downregulated in obesity-related hearts. A20 ameliorates HFD-induced lipid accumulation, ROS, inflammation, apoptosis, hypertrophy, fibrosis, and cardiac dysfunction. A20 represses TAK1 activation and the downstream inhibition of P38, JNK1/2, and the NF-κB pathway. TAK1 overexpression retards the beneficial effects of A20.
