Identifying key regulating miRNAs in hepatocellular carcinomas by an omics' method.

ABSTRACT: The miRNAs play important regulating roles in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To uncover key regulating miRNAs in HCC that were neglected by traditional analyzing methods of transcriptomics data, we proposed a novel molecular-network-based omics' (MNBO) method. With this method, we predicted HCC-regulating miRNAs, and confirmed the role of a novel miR-590-3P/EED axis by a clinical study and in vitro, in vivo wet-experiments. The miR-590-3P is significantly down-regulated in HCC patients. And low level of miR-590-3P in HCC is associated with poor prognosis of patients. In HCC cell lines, the miR-590-3P suppressed cell proliferation by inhibiting the transformation G1 phase to S phases of the cell cycle. Moreover, the miR-590-3P inhibited migration an
