BACKGROUND: Liver regeneration is a complex process. micro RNAs(mi RNAs) are short, single-stranded RNAs that modify gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Recent investigations have revealed that mi RNAs are closely linked to liver regeneration.DATA SOURCES: All included studies were obtained from Pub Med, Embase, the Science Direct databases and Web of Science, with no limitation on publication year. Only studies published in English were considered.RESULTS: We grouped studies that involved mi RNA and liver regeneration into two groups: mi RNAs as promoters and as inhibitors of liver regeneration. We summarized the relevant mi RNAs separately from the related pathways.CONCLUSIONS: Blocking or stimulating the pathways of mi RNAs in liver regeneration may be novel therapeutic strategies in future regeneration-related liver managements. We may discover additional chemotherapy targets of mi RNA.
