Abstract: The fibrosis is an excessive repair response of the organism,which can lead to a variety of tissue and organ dysfunctions manifested by fibroblast activation,proliferation and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. The microRNA(miRNA) is not only directly involved in the process of multi-organ fibrosis,but also the expression level is affected by the degree of fibrosis,which is a key regulatory factor. In recent years,miR-296 has been found to be dysregulated in fibrosis-related diseases,targets genes involved in fibrosis signaling pathways such as TGF-β and JAK2/STAT3,inflammatory response,cell apoptosis,autophagy,collagen synthesis,and capillary injury through targeted regulation,fibroblast proliferation,epithelial mesenchymal transition,synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix,and regulates fibrosis process. The paper reviews the mechanism of miR-296's involvement in fibrosis-associated diseases and its potential in the diagnosis and treatment of fibrosis-associated diseases.
