Core Tip	It has been reported that T helper (Th) 17/T regulatory (Treg) cell imbalance is closely related to many autoimmune diseases. The role of Th17/Treg imbalance in liver fibrosis has seldom been reported. Our study focused on the change in Th17/Treg balance in a liver fibrosis model in mice, and explored the possible mechanism through which the development of fibrosis is regulated. The frequency of Th17 cells increased, while the frequency of Treg cells decreased in liver fibrosis. These changes promote the occurrence of liver fibrosis via hepatic stellate cell activation.
