## Abstract The development of hepatocellular carcinomas from malignant hepatocytes is frequently associated with intra‐ and peritumoral accumulation of connective tissue arising from activated hepatic stellate cells. For both tumorigenesis and hepatic fibrogenesis, transforming growth factor (TGF)
Acetaldehyde is fibrogenic and induces the expression of type I collagen genes in hepatic stellate cells. Some of these acetaldehyde-dependent events are mediated by H 2 O 2 and thus establish a direct connection between oxidative stress and collagen upregulation. We localized to the ؊378 to ؊183 re
