MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small RNAs with a fundamental role in the regulation of gene expression. These RNAs have been shown to participate in various cellular and physiological processes, including cellular development, apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation. Aberrant expression of several miRNAs was found to be involved in a large variety of neoplasms, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous studies have shown the existence of a large amount of stable miRNAs in human serum/plasma, which laid the foundation for studying the role of serum/plasma miRNAs in the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC. Here, we review the recent progress in research on serum miRNAs as biomarkers for HCC in Chinese patients.

Background: AT-rich interaction domain 4B (ARID4B) is a transcriptional activator that regulates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway in prostate cancer. However, the role of ARID4B in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has remained unclear.

Methods: This study included 162 patients who had undergone primary hepatic resection for HCC between 2008 and 2019.

Phase 2 study of serplulimab with the bevacizumab biosimilar HLX04 in the first-line treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Cancer Immunol Immunother

January 2025

Liver Cancer Institute, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, No. 180 Fenglin Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, 200032, China.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of serplulimab, a novel programmed death-1 inhibitor, with or without bevacizumab biosimilar HLX04 as first-line treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Methods: This open-label, multicenter phase 2 study (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT03973112) was conducted in China and consisted of four treatment groups: group A (serplulimab 3 mg/kg plus HLX04 5 mg/kg, subsequent-line), group B (serplulimab 3 mg/kg plus HLX04 10 mg/kg, subsequent-line), group C (serplulimab 3 mg/kg, subsequent-line) and group D (serplulimab 3 mg/kg plus HLX04 10 mg/kg, first-line).

Diagnostic Value of Circulating microRNAs for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Results of a Meta-analysis and Validation.

Biochem Genet

January 2025

Qingdao Ruiside Medical Laboratory Co., LTD, Qingdao, 266111, Shandong, People's Republic of China.

Mounting evidence suggests that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) hold diagnostic value in various malignancies. To identify circulating miRNAs for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic utility of miRNAs in HCC and further validated the results of the meta-analysis. English articles published prior to December 2023 were retrieved from databases including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science.
