Core Tip	MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in the regulation of multiple biological genes in the liver. The liver-specific loss of Dicer1, an endoribonuclease essential for precursor miRNAs maturation, results in liver injury and spontaneous development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, the gradual histological changes involved in these processes have not been completely characterized. In contrast to previous reports, we found that Dicer1 inactivation causes typical chronic liver injury characterized by profound hepatocyte apoptosis, continuous liver necrosis, active compensatory proliferation, noticeable triad inflammation, progressive liver fibrosis, significant progenitor activation, and spontaneous hepatocarcinogenesis. Our work provides new insights into the role of miRNA in liver injury and HCC development. These results may also aid in the development of a miRNA therapeutic strategy for the prevention and treatment of HCC.
