MiR‑4730 suppresses the progression of liver cancer by targeting the high mobility group A1 pathway.

ABSTRACT: As liver cancer (LC) is the sixth most commonly diagnosed malignancy, it is necessary to elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible for LC progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) play crucial roles in tumor progression by regulating target gene expression. The present study assessed miRNA‑4730 expression and function in LC. The effects of miR‑4730 overexpression were examined in LC cell lines, and the target genes of miR‑4730 were evaluated using microarray analysis and TargetScan data. In addition, the association between miR‑4730 expression in tissue samples and the prognosis of 70 patients with LC was evaluated. miR‑4730 expression was suppressed in LC tissues and cell lines. miR‑4730 overexpression suppressed cell proliferation and cell cycle progression and promoted apoptosis.
