Abstract

Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) exist stably in body fluids and are potential biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Twenty-five patients with cirrhosis that evolved into HCC, who were treated at The Third Hospital of Zhenjiang Affiliated to Jiangsu University between January 2005 and December 2012, were enrolled. In the discovery stage, 2 serum samples pooled from 3 cirrhosis and 3 HCC samples were subjected to deep sequencing. Subsequently, differential expression of miRNAs was validated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in the serum samples from an independent cohort of 22 patients with cirrhosis and HCC. Twenty-two miRNAs showed a >2-fold upregulation (P<0.01), and 2 miRNAs showed a >2-fold downregulation (P<0.01) in the cirrhosis and HCC samples. Using the comparative Ct method, we calculated the 2-ΔΔCt for 40 candidate miRNAs in the sample sets. Eight of the 40 miRNAs demonstrated significantly differential expression levels between the disease categories. The miRNAs exhibiting differential expression were hsa-miR‑122-5p, hsa‑miR-199a-5p, hsa-miR‑486-5p, hsa‑miR‑193b-5p, hsa-miR‑206, hsa‑ miR‑141-3p, hsa‑miR‑192-5p and hsa‑miR‑26a-5p. We identified the miRNAs differentially expressed in cirrhosis that evolved into hepatitis B virus-related HCC.
