摘要
微小RNA(microRNA.miRNA)为内源性短小(18~25个核苷酸组成)单链非编码RNA,通过与靶基因mRNA序列3'末端非翻译区(3'-UTR)结合抑制蛋白翻译过程或干扰mRNA降低靶蛋白水平,miRNA异常表达影响多种器官重构中细胞增殖及分化.近期研究表明miRNA这一转录后水平的调控分子参与各种慢性肝病发生发展,肝星状细胞的激活是导致早期肝损伤的关键因素,本文将就miRNA在肝星状细胞激活及慢性肝病发展中的作用作一系统综述.
Small RNA (known as microRNA,miRNA) is single-stranded non-coding RNA (18-25 nucleotides length),it regulates various proteins by targeting the 3'-untranslated region (3-UTR) of various transcripts,thus dysregulation of miRNA affects a wide range of processes such as cell proliferation and differentiation involved in organ remodeling processes.Current studies demonstrated that post-transcriptional effect of miRNA is involved in the development of chronic liver diseases,while hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a vital role in the primary formation of ECM and undergo progressive activation to become myofibroblasts (MFB)-like cells.The aim of this paper is to discuss the role of miRNA in hepatic stellate cells activation and the chronic hepatic diseases.
