Abstract

Results

MiR-93 was upregulated in HepG2 cells compared with PHHC and inhibition of miR-93 significantly suppressed HepG2 cell proliferation, migration and col-ony formation. The expressions of TGFBR2 and ITGB8 were upregulated when miR-93 was inhibited.

Conclusions

Our results reveal an important contribution for miR-93 in hepatocarcinogenesis and suggest a role for TGFBR2 and ITGB8 dysregulation in this process. Thus,the use of synthetic inhibitor of miR-93 may prove to bea promising approach to liver cancer treatment.
