ObjectiveTo summarize the role of ionized free calcium/calmodulin/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ (Ca2+/CaM/CaMKⅡ) signaling pathway in liver fibrosis so as to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of liver fibrosis. MethodThe recent literature relevant research on the role of Ca2+/CaM/CaMKⅡ signaling pathway in the process of liver fibrosis both domestically and internationally was reviewed. ResultsThe Ca2+/CaM/CaMKⅡ signaling pathway played a bidirectional regulatory role in the process of liver fibrosis, potentially facilitating the activation of hepatic stellate cells and triggering hepatocyte apoptosis through synergistic transforming growth factor-β1 and platelet-derived growth factor pathways. ConclusionsAt present, there is very little research on the role of Ca2+/CaM/CaMKⅡ signaling pathway in the process of liver fibrosis, and there is still insufficient understanding. Future research should focus on the mechanism of this signaling pathway in liver fibrosis, especially its upstream genes or downstream target proteins, which will aid to develop targeted and effective treatment strategies, achieve the reversal of liver fibrosis and even liver cirrhosis, and provide more effective treatment options for patients with liver fibrosis.
