TLDR
The possible role of circulating miRNAs as biomarkers, a field that needs urgent improvement in the clinical surveillance of HCC, and the fascinating possibility of using them as therapeutic targets or drugs themselves are discussed.

Serum exosomal microRNAs as novel biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma

TL;DR: It is suggested that serum exosomal microRNAs may be used as novel serological biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Non-coding RNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma: molecular functions and pathological implications

TL;DR: The common deregulation of small and long nc RNAs in human HCC is summarized and the pathological roles of ncRNAs in liver carcinogenesis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and HCC metastasis are reviewed and the potential applications of n cRNAs as diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets are discussed.

MicroRNA-92b promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by targeting Smad7 and is mediated by long non-coding RNA XIST

TL;DR: It is shown that miR-92b was significantly upregulated in tumor tissue and plasma of HCC patients, and its expression level was highly correlated with gender and microvascular invasion, and the importance of XIST/miR- 92b/Smad7 signaling axis in HCC progression is revealed for the first time.

MiR-199a-modified exosomes from adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells improve hepatocellular carcinoma chemosensitivity through mTOR pathway

TL;DR: AMSC-Exo- 199a can be an effective vehicle for miR-199a delivery, and they effectively sensitized HCC to chemotherapeutic agents by targeting mTOR pathway and subsequently inhibiting the m TOR pathway.

Therapeutic Silencing of MicroRNA-122 in Primates with Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection

TL;DR: Treatment of chronically infected chimpanzees with a locked nucleic acid (LNA)–modified oligonucleotide (SPC3649) complementary to miR-122 leads to long-lasting suppression of HCV viremia, with no evidence of viral resistance or side effects in the treated animals.

Therapeutic microRNA Delivery Suppresses Tumorigenesis in a Murine Liver Cancer Model

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells exhibit reduced expression of miR-26a, a miRNA that is normally expressed at high levels in diverse tissues that may provide a general strategy for miRNA replacement therapies.
