“…Some other lncRNAs, such as XIST, HOST2, HOXA-AS2, CCHE1, and AFAP1-AS1, can induce and accelerate cell proliferation, while inhibiting the apoptosis of HCC cells [33]. This feature might be useful as a therapeutic target of HCC, especially as an alternative to the patients who show chemoresistance for the chemotherapeutic drugs [6][7][8]56].…”

“…Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, with a poor prognosis and low survival rates [4,5]. Despite advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of HCC, the overall low survival time, high rates of metastasis, postsurgical recurrence, and chemoresistance are still unsolved problems [5][6][7][8]. Hepatic fibrosis is a major risk factor for HCC, and it is a continuous wound-healing process that leads to the dysregulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and the distortion of normal liver architecture [9].…”

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important contributors to the biological processes underlying the pathophysiology of various human diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the involvement of these molecules in chronic liver diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and viral hepatitis, has only recently been considered in scientific research. While extensive studies on the pathogenesis of the development of HCC from hepatic fibrosis have been conducted, their regulatory molecular mechanisms are still only partially understood. The underlying mechanisms related to lncRNAs leading to HCC from chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis have not yet been entirely elucidated. Therefore, elucidating the functional roles of lncRNAs in chronic liver disease and HCC can contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms, and may help in developing novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HCC, as well as in preventing the progression of chronic liver disease to HCC. Here, we comprehensively review and briefly summarize some lncRNAs that participate in both hepatic fibrosis and HCC.

“…Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) is a kind of RNA with no protein-coding capacity that is also over 200 nucleotides in length [200,201]. LncRNA affects protein regulation at transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels [202]. A growing body of evidence suggests that abnormal expression of LncRNA contributes to tumor formation, metastasis, and drug resistance [203].…”

The difficulty of early diagnosis and the development of drug resistance are two major barriers to the successful treatment of cancer. Autophagy plays a crucial role in several cellular functions, and its dysregulation is associated with both tumorigenesis and drug resistance. Unc-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1) is a serine/threonine kinase that participates in the initiation of autophagy. Many studies have indicated that compounds that directly or indirectly target ULK1 could be used for tumor therapy. However, reports of the therapeutic effects of these compounds have come to conflicting conclusions. In this work, we reviewed recent studies related to the effects of ULK1 on the regulation of autophagy and the development of drug resistance in cancers, with the aim of clarifying the mechanistic underpinnings of this therapeutic target.

At the heart of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lies disruption of signaling pathways at the level of molecules, genes, and cells. Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been implicated in the disease progression of HCC. For instance, dysregulated expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been observed in patients with HCC. As such, these RNAs are potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers for HCC. Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a type of ncRNA, have also been recognized to participate in the initiation and progression of HCC. Transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) is another element which is now recognized to play crucial roles in HCC. It has been implicated in many biological processes such as survival, immune surveillance, and cell proliferation. In HCC, TGF‐β promotes disease progression by two mechanisms: an intrinsic signaling pathway and the extrinsic pathway. Through these pathways, it modulates various microenvironment factors such as inflammatory mediators and fibroblasts. An interesting yet‐to‐be resolved concept is whether the HCC‐promoting role of TGF‐β pathways is limited to a subset of HCC patients or it is involved in the whole process of HCC development. This review summarizes recent advancements to highlight the roles of circRNAs, lncRNAs, and TGF‐β in HCC.
