Non-coding RNAs are speculated to exert important regulatory functions at the level of gene expression, oncogenesis, and many other pathologies. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and some studies have shown that the expression of non-coding RNAs has an assignable effect on the development of HBV-induced HCC. In this context, the functions and molecular mechanisms of the HBVinduced non-coding RNA expression in the development of hepatoma have attracted increasing attention. This review covers the progress in the exploration of the relationship between HBV-induced hepatoma and non-coding RNA expression, cataloging the recent reports about the roles of non-coding RNAs in HBV-induced hepatoma into five classes, including (1) modulation of metabolism in hepatic cancer, (2) aggravation of inflammation and hepatic fibrosis, (3) alteration of the tumor immune microenvironment, (4) non-coding RNA N6-methyladenosine modification, and a seemingly opposite process, (5) the suppression of the progression of HBV-related HCC. All evidence supports non-coding RNAs as promising novel targets for the early diagnosis and treatments for HCC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
