Transplantation of FGF21_ADSCs significantly improved liver fibrosis by decreasing serum hyaluronic acid and reducing the expression of fibrosis‐related factors such as α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA), collagen and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐1 (TIMP‐1) compared with the Empty_ADSCs by inhibition of p‐JNK, NF‐κB and p‐Smad2/3 signalling. The gene discussed is SMAD2; the disease is Hepatic fibrosis.
