However, the key genes or proteins driving liver fibrosis and cirrhosis are not well understood. We aimed to identify novel hepatic fibrosis genes of human primary hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Human primary HSCs were isolated from surgically resected advanced fibrosis liver tissues (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a06) and surgical resection of normal liver tissue around hemangioma (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a05). Differences in the expression levels of mRNA and proteins from HSCs in advanced fibrosis group and the control group were analyzed using RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry as transcriptomic and proteomic approaches. The obtained biomarkers were further validated through real\u2010time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT\u2010qPCR), immunofluorescence, and Western blot.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 2156 transcripts and 711 proteins were found to be differently expressed between the advanced fibrosis group and the control group patients. The Venn diagram shows that a total of 96 upregulated molecules are overlapped in both the transcriptomic and proteomic datasets. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis indicated that those overlapped genes were mainly involved in wound healing, cell adhesion regulation, and actin binding, which reflects the major biological conversions in liver cirrhosis process.
