The combination of lineage tracing and immunohistochemistry has helped to identify subpopulations and fate of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) in murine liver. HSC are sinusoidal pericytes that act as myofibroblast precursors after liver injury. Single cell RNA sequencing approaches have recently helped to differentiate central and portal HSC. A specific Cre line to lineage trace portal HSC has not yet been described. We used three Cre lines (Lrat-Cre, PDGFRβ-CreER<sup>T2</sup> and SMMHC-CreER<sup>T2</sup>) known to label mesenchymal cells including HSC in combination with a tdTomato-expressing reporter. All three Cre lines labeled populations of HSC as well as smooth muscle cells (SMC). Using the SMMHC-CreER<sup>T2</sup>, we identified a subtype of HSC in the periportal area of the hepatic lobule (termed zone 1-HSC). We lineage traced tdTomato-expressing zone 1-HSC over 1 year, described fibrotic behavior in two fibrosis models and investigated their possible role during fibrosis. This HSC subtype resides in zone 1 under healthy conditions; however, zonation is disrupted in preclinical models of liver fibrosis (CCl<sub>4</sub> and MASH). Zone 1-HSC do not transform into αSMA-expressing myofibroblasts. Rather, they participate in sinusoidal capillarization. We describe a novel subtype of HSC restricted to zone 1 under physiological conditions and its possible function after liver injury. In contrast to the accepted notion, this HSC subtype does not transform into αSMA-positive myofibroblasts; rather, zone 1-HSC adopt properties of capillary pericytes, thereby participating in sinusoidal capillarization.
