ABSTRACT
Hepatic macrophages and hepatic progenitor cells play an important role in the development and repair of liver fibrosis. The polarized state of macrophages can affect the differentiation orientation of hepatic progenitor cells, and the Wnt signaling pathway may play a key role in the crosstalk between hepatic macrophages and hepatic progenitor cells. This article overviews the role of macrophages and hepatic progenitor cells and the mechanism of the crosstalk between them in the pathological state of liver fibrosis. It is pointed out that in-depth studies are needed to investigate the genome and phenotype of hepatic macrophages and clarify the mechanism of action of macrophages in regulating the differentiation of hepatic progenitor cells, in order to provide a basis for the treatment of liver fibrosis.
