MicroRNAs

Intensity of expression

miR-21

Increased expression in tumorous serum or liver tissues of HCC patients

miR-221, miR-224, miR-301

Increased expression in tumorous liver tissues compared with paired adjacent non-tumorous liver tissue from HCC patients or in tumorous serum

miR-222

Increased expression in tumorous liver tissues of HCC patients compared with paired adjacent non-tumorous or begin tumorous liver tissues

miR-122

Decreased expression in serum samples in HCC patients compared with normal subjects

miR-16, miR-195, miR-199a

Decreased expression in serum levels in HCC patients compared with normal subjects

miR-223

Decreased expression in tumorous liver tissues compared with paired adjacent non-tumorous liver tissues from HCC patients
