“…The expression level of miR-1269a in HCC patients without portal vein tumor embolus was reduced72. In addition, the low expression of miR-125a-5p, miR-128-3p, miR-137, miR-185-5p, miR-188-5p, miR-26a-5p, miR-503-5p and miR-744-5p were detected in HCC tissues compared with their non-tumor livers and were involved in the multi-step processes35363773747576. There were six circulating prognostic biomarker miRNAs reported to be associated with tissue invasion and metastasis, including miR-122-5p, miR-17-5p, miR-182-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-24-3p and miR-331-3p, all of them were up-regulated in the group with low survival rate5661637778.…”
