Core Tip	No effective anti-fibrotic therapies are avail­able for patients with cirrhosis. PAR-2, a receptor that activates coagulation and inflammation, promotes hepatic fibrosis; whether tissue factor (TF), the primary initiator of the coagulation cascade, affects hepatic fibrosis is unknown. We found that deletion of the TF cytoplasmic domain reduces fibrosis through an effect on hepatic stellate cell activation, possibly mediated through reduced hepatic macrophage activation. Currently available direct thrombin inhibitors may be useful in preventing hepatic fibrosis while therapeutic targeting of the cytoplasmic domain of TF may be useful in patients with advanced liver disease, as its deletion does not alter coagulation.
