To determine the role of ASH1L in vivo, transgenic mice with conditional Ash1l depletion in the hepatocyte cell lineage (Ash1lflox/floxAlbcre) or HSCs (Ash1lflox/floxGFAPcreERT2) are generated, and these mice are challenged in a diethylnitrosamine (DEN)/carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)‐induced model of liver fibrosis and HCC. This evidence concerns the gene ASH1L and Hepatic fibrosis.
