Abstract Objective To explore the roles of miRNA-101 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 signalling pathway in human liver fibrosis. Methods Twenty cases of liver fibrosis tissues from January 2013 to January 2018 of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were selected as observation group. Twenty cases of normal liver firosis were selected as control. The expression of TGF-β1 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression levels of TGF-β1 mRNA, α-SMA mRNA and miRNA-101 in liver tissues were detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The correlation of TGF-β1 and α-SMA expression with miRNA-101 in the liver tissues was analyzed. Results The expression level of TGF-β1 mRNA was much higher in fibrotic liver than that in normal liver tissues (P < 0.05), there was no statistically significant differencce on the expression level of α-SMA mRNA between fibrotic liver and normal liver tissues (P > 0.05). The positive expression of TGF-β1 and α-SMA in hepatic fibrosis tissues increased with the degree of hepatic fibrosis, showing a positive correlation (r = 0.53, 0.57, all P < 0.05). The mRNA expression level of TGF-β1 mRNA in fibrotic liver was positively correlated with α-SMA (r = 0.633, P < 0.01). The expression level of miRNA-101 in liver fibrotic tissues was lower than that in normal liver tissues (P < 0.05). The expression of miRNA-101 was negatively correlated with the mRNA expression levels of TGF-β1 and α-SMA (r = -0.442, -0.327, all P < 0.01). Conclusion Downregulation of miRNA-101 may contribute to liver fibrosis by targeting TGF-β1.
