Recently, we reported that C-C motif chemokine receptor (CCR) 9-expressing Mφs (CCR9+Mφs) play an important role in this model as well as in a murine fibrosis model29, 30, and further found that the CCL25-CCR9 axis is critical for the pathogenesis of acute liver damage as well as other previously reported chemokine receptors, CCR1, CCR2, and CCR831, 32, 33. Here, CCR9 is linked to fibrosis.
