Liver fibrosis represents a global health burden, given the paucity of approved antifibrotic therapies. Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) play a major gatekeeping role in hepatic homeostasis and liver disease pathophysiology. In early tumorigenesis, runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) functions as a sentinel; however, its function in liver fibrosis in LSECs remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of RUNX3 as an important regulator of the gatekeeping functions of LSECs and explore novel angiocrine regulators of liver fibrosis.
