Article Abstract
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer type. This study was aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-584-5p (miR-584-5p) in regulating HCC progression.
Methods: The expression of miR-584-5p in HCC cell lines was analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Effects of miR-584-5p depletion on HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro were analyzed by cell counting kit-8 assay, wound-healing assay, and transwell invasion assay. miR-584-5p targeting potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 2 (KCNE2) was identified using bioinformatics algorithm and dual-luciferase activity reporter assay. Kaplan-Meier Plotter website was used to investigate the effect of miR-584-5p or KCNE2 expression on the overall survival of HCC patients.
Results: In vitro functional assays showed miR-584-5p depletion decreased HCC cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell invasion. Moreover, miR-584-5p functions by directly targeting KCNE2, and it in turn, mediates the effects of miR-584-5p on HCC cell behaviors.
Conclusions: These results demonstrated that miR-584-5p functions as an oncogenic miRNA in HCC.

TP53 mutations are highly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a common and deadly cancer. However, few primary drivers in the progression of HCC with mutant TP53 have been identified. To uncover tumor suppressors in human HCC, a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9-based screening of primary human hepatocytes with MYC and TP53 overexpression (MT-PHHs) is performed in xenografts.

We previously revealed that the G1896A mutation could enhance HBV replication and promote hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. However, the in-depth mechanisms by which this mutation promotes the malignancy of HCC still need to be explored.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major global health issue, ranking as the sixth most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Risk factors for HCC include chronic hepatitis B and C, obesity, alcohol abuse, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. Current treatments, such as surgery, transplantation, and chemotherapy, are often ineffective in advanced stages due to tumor resistance and the inability to target key oncogenic pathways.

Noncoding RNAs play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Recent evidence has identified vault RNAs (vtRNAs) as critical regulators of cellular homeostasis. The human genome encodes four vtRNA paralogs, which are differentially expressed in cancer tissues and contribute to tumor development.

Objectives: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the most frequently occurring malignant tumors of the digestive tract and is associated with an increased mortality rate worldwide. This study aimed to develop and validate a prognostic model based on immunogenic cell death (ICD)-related genes to predict patient survival and guide individualized treatment strategies for HCC.
Methods: ICD-related genes were identified from the GeneCards database using a relevance score threshold of >10.
