Emerging evidence shows that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in the regulation of activation, proliferation and apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Previous studies have indicated that miR-125a-5p is correlated with hepatitis B virus replication and disease progression. However, little is known about the biological role and underlying mechanism of miR-125a-5p in liver fibrosis.
