Aberrantly microRNA profiling in cancerous hepatocytes versus normal primary hepatocytes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs is a rapidly expanding area expected to change the way in which diseases will be diagnosed, treated and monitored in the future. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows a rising incidence with high mortality but lack of effective targeted therapies. We identified the aberrantly expressed miRNAs involved in HCC through the comparison of miRNA expression profiling in cancerous hepatocytes with that in normal primary human hepatocytes and found 37 dysregulated miRNAs in HCC. There were 9 up-regulated miRNAs and 28 down-regulated miRNAs in HCC, of which, miR-221 and miR-99b were the most overexpressed miRNAs, while miR-375, miR-192, miR-146b-5p, miR-885-5p, miR-122* and miR-122 were noted for their greatest changes of decreased expression. These aberrantly expressed miRNAs may provide insights into pathogenesis of HCC and thus may be used for diagnosis and therapy.
