Induction of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) apoptosis attenuates hepatic fibrosis, and, therefore, mechanisms to induce HSC cell death are of therapeutic interest. Proteasome inhibitors induce apoptosis in transformed cells, especially those cells dependent upon nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) activ
## Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) activate retinoidβcontaining quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) to retinoidβdeficient fibrogenic myofibroblastβlike cells (aHSCs). However, ROS also cause apoptosis of aHSCs, and apoptotic aHSCs are observed in inflammatory fibrotic liver. Here, we in
