Repressing phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit gamma by microRNA-142-3p restrains the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.

This paper probes the mechanisms underlying miR-142-3p's modulation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) invasion and apoptosis. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot monitored the miR-142-3p profile in HCC tissues and non-tumor tissues. The correlation between miR-142-3p expression and HCC patients' clinicopathological indicators was analyzed.
