Exosomal MicroRNA-Related Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

alkiviadis.1961 shared this article with you from Inoreader Growing Evidence of Exosomal MicroRNA-Related Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Via Hindawi Publishing Corporation Metastasis is the prominent cause of death in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, the mechanisms behind HCC metastasis are not well understood. MicroRNAs (miRs) can regulate gene expression and affect HCC metastasis. Exosomes can transport miRs and other cargoes to and from different cells, thus being associated with tumour-distant metastasis. Exosomal miRs involve different processes of HCC metastasis through their functional effects, such as their induction of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, and distant niche. In this review, data from the literature were analysed and summarised, with a focus on the evidence extraction of exosomal miRs in HCC metastasis with the purpose of increasing the understanding of the mechanisms behind HCC metastasis and acquiring implication s for application.
