Liver cancer progression through increased miR-221 mediated tumorigenesis

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading malignancy worldwide. MiR-221 have oncogenic functions and play a seminal role in carcinogenesis regulation including in high risk- human HCC. However, the molecular mechanism and biological functions of miR-221 has not been investigated thoroughly in HCC. In the present work, the role of miR-221 in HCC was evaluated using microarray and miR-221target genes expressions were analyzed in miR-221 inhibitor transfected HCC cell lines HepG2, Huh-7, WRL-68. Finally, we found that 89 upregulated and 52 downregulated genes by miR-221 in HCC cell lines.l
