摘要
Aberrant expression of microRNAs(miRNAs)was reported frequently in different human cancers.The major role of miRNA is targeting 30-UTR of coding gene and causing translational repression or mRNA degradation.miR-10b overexpression was reported to promote breast cancer metastasis by up-regulating RHOC expression.But its expression in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)remains unclear.Our study indicated that the expression of miR-10b was different in HCC and adjacent tissue samples,and reduced expression of miR-10b in HCC was related tovein invasion.High-level expression of RHOC was also related to vein invasion in HCC.But no correlation was found between miR-10b and RHOC expression.These results suggest that miR-10b and RHOC are independent predictors of HCC invasion and metastasis.
Aberrant expression of microRNAs （miRNAs） was reported frequently in different human cancers. The major role of miRNA is targeting 31-UTR of coding gene and causing translational repression or mRNA degradation. miR-10b overexpression was reported to promote breast cancer metastasis by up-regulating RHOC expression. But its expression in hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） remains unclear. Our study indicated that the expression of miR-10b was different in HCC and adjacent tissue samples, and reduced expression of miR-10b in HCC was related tovein invasion. High-level expression of RHOC was also related to vein invasion in HCC. But no correlation was found between miR-10b and RHOC expression. These results suggest that miR-10b and RHOC are independent predictors of HCC invasion and metastasis.
