The expression of microRNA-331-3p and microRNA-23b3 in Egyptian patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis C-related liver cirrhosis

Abstract: Background Hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatitis C are strongly associated. The current work aimed to study the expression levels of microRNA-331-3p and microRNA-23b-3p as propable biomarkers for detecting liver cancer (HCC) at its early stages in patients with HCV-related liver cirrhosis. The current prospective study included two hundred participants, divided into three groups: group I, 100 patients with HCV-related liver cirrhosis; group II, 50 HCC patients at early stages; and group III, 5… Show more

“…High accuracy AUC was found regarding AFP and miRNA-331, while miRNA-23b showed moderate accuracy AUC in our study which is in agreement with Wu et al (26). On the other hand, serum miR-331-3p was significantly increased in HCC compared to patients with benign hepatic tumors and was associated with poor HCC prognosis (27). Moreover, miR-23b-3p showed a significant decrease in the plasma of patients with early HCC compared to cirrhotic patients.…”
