Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the expression of exosomal non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the sera of patients with HCC control.
Methods: Firstly, Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to retrieve ncRNAs specific to HCC (hsa-miRNA-1298 and lncRNA-RP11-583F2.2).

Background: Long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs) have emerged as key elements in modulating gene expression in different biological contexts.
Patients And Methods: We used quantitative real-time PCR (Qpcr) to evaluate the expression of lncRNA-UCA1 and C-JUN in serum of 70 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 32 patients chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and 38 healthy subjects and their correlation with different clinicopathological factors.
Results: The expression of lncRNA-UCA1 and C-JUN was positive in 91.
Background: The circulating transcriptome (coding and non-coding) plays a critical role in cancer. Novel accurate strategies for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are strongly needed.
Patients And Methods: We chose an HCC-specific RNA-based biomarker panel based on the integration of differential lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) gene expression with its selected epigenetic regulators using bioinformatic methods.
There is an increasing interest in using long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as biomarkers in cancer. Predictive biomarkers in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have great benefit in the choice of therapeutic modality for HCC. The aim of this study is to assess lncRNA-urothelial carcinoma associated-1 (lncRNA-UCA1) and WD repeat containing, antisense to TP53 (WRAP53) expression as novel noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis of HCC in sera of HCC patients compared with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients and healthy volunteers and to analyze their relationship with respect to the clinicopathologic features.
