Abstract

The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix are the keys to the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis. Metabolic reprogramming supports the activation process of HSCs, which requires substantial energy to meet the corresponding energy requirements for liver fibrosis formation. This review focuses on the effect of metabolomic changes characterized by metabolic reprogramming on HSC activation and summarizes the characteristics of HSC energy metabolism reprogramming during the formation of liver fibrosis, with the aim to summarize research evidence for exploring the mechanism and developing strategies for the prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis.
