摘要

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a disease with various levels varying from fatty liver steatosis to acute steatosis which is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can develop into hepatic failure, as well as in some conditions it can develop into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the NAFLD and NASH context, aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression has a thorough contribution to the incidence and development of these liver disorders by influencing key biological actions, involving lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis. Dysregulated miRNAs can disrupt the balance between lipid accumulation and clearance, exacerbate inflammatory responses, and promote fibrogenesis, thus advancing the severeness of the disorder from simple steatosis to more complex NASH. In the current review, the latest development concerned with the activity of complex regulatory networks of miRNA in the incidence as well as the evolution of NAFLD is to be discussed, also conferring about the miRNAs’ role in the onset, pathogenesis as well as diagnosis of NAFLD and NASH discussing miRNAs’ role as diagnostic biomarkers and their therapeutic effects on NAFLD/NASH.
