It is known that the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is a pivotal step in the initiation and progression of liver fibrosis. Aberrant activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway is known to accelerate the development of liver fibrosis. microRNAs (miRNAs)-mediated Wnt/β-catenin pathway has been reported to be involved in HSC activation during liver fibrosis. However, whether long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate Wnt/β-catenin pathway during HSC activation still remains unclear.
