Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the main type of primary liver malignancy and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a type of non-coding RNA that regulates gene expression mainly on post-transcriptional level has a confirmed and important role in numerous biological process. By regulating specific target genes, miRNA can act as oncogene or tumor suppressor. Recent evidence has indicated that the deregulation of miR-NAs is closely associated with the clinical pathological features of HCC. However, the precise regulatory mechanism of each miRNA and its targets in HCC has yet to be illuminated. This study demonstrates that both oncogenic and tumor suppressive miRNAs are crucial in the formation and development of HCC. miRNAs influence biological behavior including proliferation, invasion, metastasis and apoptosis by targeting critical genes. Here, we summarize current knowledge about the expression profile and function of miRNAs in HCC and discuss the potential for miRNA-based therapy for HCC.

The aim of our research was to explore the character of autophagy related 12 (ATG12) in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 145 HCC tissues as well as paired adjacent normal tissues were collected, then immunohistochemistry was conducted to access the expression of ATG12. HCC cells were transfected with pcDNA ATG12 or si-ATG12 to overexpress ATG12 or downregulate ATG12.

Background: The global prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is approximately 30%, and the condition can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has been shown to be effective in treating obesity and related disorders, including NAFLD.
Objective: In this study, comprehensive machine learning was used to identify biomarkers for precise treatment of NAFLD from the perspective of MBS.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer in humans, with an increasing incidence worldwide. The current study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms that inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells, a hepatoblastoma-derived cell line. MSC-derived exosomes (UC-MSCs) were prepared with a median particle size (N50) of 135.
