| T3 |
177-387 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) plays a key role in fibrogenesis in response to liver injury, yet the mechanism by which damaged hepatocytes modulate the activation of HSCs is poorly understood. |

| T5 |
542-683 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, we report that OGT-deficient hepatocytes secrete trefoil factor 2 (TFF2) that activates HSCs and contributes to the fibrogenic process. |

684-788 |
Sentence |
denotes |

Sentence |
denotes |

| T7 |
789-933 |
Sentence |
denotes |
TFF2 activates the platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta signaling pathway that promotes the proliferation and migration of primary HSCs. |
| T7 |

Sentence |
denotes |
TFF2 activates the platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta signaling pathway that promotes the proliferation and migration of primary HSCs. |
| T8 |

Sentence |
denotes |
TFF2 protein expression is elevated in mice with carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury. |
| T9 |
1026-1219 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These findings identify TFF2 as a novel factor that mediates intercellular signaling between hepatocytes and HSCs and suggest a role of the hepatic OGT-TFF2 axis in the process of fibrogenesis. |
