Abstract | BACKGROUND & AIMS: METHODS: CPT1A was found in HSCs of patients with fibrosis. Pharmacological and genetic manipulation of CPT1A were performed in human HSC cell lines and primary HCSs. Finally, we induced fibrosis in mice lacking CPT1A specifically in HSCs. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that CPT1A plays a critical role in the activation of HSCs and is implicated in the development of liver fibrosis, making it a potentially actionable target for fibrosis treatment.
