role of micrornas in hepatocellular carcinoma

چکیده
results researchers have reported that mirnas can repress the expression of important cancer-related genes and might be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. during the past two decades, numerous studies have shown that mirnas play an essential role in inhibiting hcc via several different pathways. deregulated mirnas may contribute to carcinogenesis, indicating that mirnas can act as tumor suppressors and oncogenes. conclusions in this mini review, we highlight current findings and discuss recent work to determine the contribution of mirna expression to the maintenance and growth of hcc, thereby providing a significant source of hope that mirnas could serve as therapeutic targets. evidence acquisition in this study we provided a summarized review of the most important new data available on hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc)-associated mirnas. the data were collected through searching the related keywords and were categorized and summarized in different sections. context micrornas (mirnas) are small, noncoding rnas that play an important role in posttranscriptional gene regulation and function as negative gene regulators. they are an abundant class of rna, each of which can control hundreds of gene targets and regulate diverse biological processes such as hematopoiesis, organogenesis, apoptosis and cell proliferation. aberrant mirna expression contributes to tumorigenesis and cancer progression.

متن کاملThe Emerging Role of MicroRNAs in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common malignancy and a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Recent epidemiological data have demonstrated that liver cancer incidence is continuously rising and will continue to do so for more than a decade, not only South Africa and Mainland China but also in North America and Europe. Molecular profiling of changes in gene expression has improved our unde...
متن کاملRole of microRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma: a clinical perspective
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most deadly tumors, and current treatments for the disease are often ineffective. The discovery of the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in hepatocarcinogenesis represents an important area of investigation for the development of their clinical applications. These molecules may act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors by directly or indirectly controlli...

context hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is one of the most common cancers in the world but with a striking geographical variation in incidence; most of the burden is in developing countries. this geographic variation in hcc incidence might be due to geographic differences in the prevalence of various etiological factors. evidence acquisition here, we review the epidemiological evidence linking d...

AIM To assess the role of some circulating miRNAs (miR-23a, miR-203, miR338, miR-34, and miR-16) as tumor markers for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS One hundred and seventy-one subjects were enrolled, 57 patients with HCC, 57 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and 57 healthy subjects as control group. Severity of liver disease was assessed by Child Pugh score. Tumor stag...
