Core Tip
Core tip: A number of miRNAs have been identified to be substantially involved in hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Thus, an integrated analysis of the expression and function of miRNA and mRNA makes it possible to successfully identify the predicted miRNA-target network pattern and functional candidates of miRNA-mRNA pairs associated with HBx-related hepatocarcinogenesis.
