High intracellular concentrations of CCN1/CYR61 induce ER stress in HSC.
10">CCN1/CYR61-induced ER stress results in compensatory unfolded protein response.
15">When CCN1/CYR61 overload is too high the NF-κB pathway is activated.
The NF-κB pathway initiates apoptosis in HSC.
The content of intracellular CCN1/CYR61 is a key switch in limiting hepatic fibrosis.
