Role of MicroRNA-155 at Early Stages of Hepatocarcinogenesis Induced by Choline-Deficient and Amino Acid–Defined Diet in C57BL/6 Mice†

Abstract

Temporal changes in microRNA profile occur at early stages of CDAA diet-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. Reciprocal regulation of specific oncomirs and their tumor suppressor targets implicate their role in NASH-induced hepatocarcinogenesis and suggest their use in the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of liver cancer.
