Abstract: TGF-β/Smads pathway have a wide range of interactions with MicroRNAs. It has important roles in the control of gene epigenetics, transcription and post-transcriptional processing of MicroRNAs; while also from the post-transcriptional level MicroRNAs inhibit TGF-β/Smads pathway related genes expression. They also have significant relationship with a variety of human diseases, including tissue fibrosis, scar healing and tumor.

Key words: TGF-β, Smads, microRNA, control
