      2) The identification of double ISH-stained cells of endothelial marker Ptprb and stellate cell marker Lum further confirmed the existence of chimeric cells. HSCs are considered to be liver-specific pericytes (Hellerbrand, 2013; Pinzani, 1995a, 1995b) and, like pericytes in other tissues, are physically connected with endothelial cells and directly interact with them in a reciprocal manner (Poisson et al., 2017). Further experiments are needed to test whether this subpopulation is more pericyte-like and whether they serve certain complimentary endothelial functions.

      PDGF and TGF-β are considered the main prompters of HSCs proliferation and activation, respectively [33,34]. These mediators participate in liver fibrosis by changing HSCs from quiescent to myofibroblast and keeping it in active form [35]. This was clearly demonstrated in the present study by a marked α-SMA expression in liver tissues of BDL group and was related to HSCs activation.

      Alteration of gene expression profiles is essential in the activation process of HSCs, in which epigenetic factors are indispensable. Cirrhosis is a hallmark of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) that results from excessive synthesis and deposition of ECM proteins (Pinzani, 1995). The epigenetic machinery regulates HSC-dependent fibrogenesis by targeting specific pro- and anti-fibrogenic factors.

      These results indicate that some of the adoptively transferred Ly6Chighc-kit− cells became nonhematopoietic lineage cells in the CCl4-injured liver. HpSCs are usually identified and isolated using a combination of antigenic markers, such as GFAP, desmin, CD146, vimentin, ADAMTS13, procollagen type I, and α-SMA [23–28]. We first analyzed the expression of these antigens in EGFP+ cells in the liver of mice given Ly6Chighc-kit− monocytes.
