This study is aimed to reveal the potential role of MAML1 in liver fibrosis and identify its underlying mechanism.

Interestingly, MAML1 may modulate HSCs activation via interrupting both Notch and Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin signal transductions, and the inhibition of MAML1 by a recombinant adeno-associated virus type 1 vector carrying shRNA targeting MAML1 alleviated CCl\n                    <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                    -induced hepatic fibrosis in rats.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation is the key event during liver fibrogenesis. Thus, the elucidation of mechanisms for regulating HSCs activation is helpful for identifying novel anti-fibrotic targets and strategies. MAML1, an important component of Notch signal, functions in critical transcriptional coactivation in the Notch and Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin signal pathways. In the present study, we investigated the potential function of MAML1 during hepatic fibrogenesis in rats. Our results demonstrated that MAML1 participates in liver fibrosis through modulating HSCs activation via interrupting both the Notch and Wnt\/\u03b2-catenin signal transductions. Additionally, the inhibition of MAML1 markedly attenuated CCl\n                      <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n                      -induced hepatic fibrogenesis in rats.
