Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is considered one of the most threats to human health and is considered a fatal threat globally. Hepatocellular carcinoma is still a health challenge, and its incidence is growing worldwide. The role of non-coding miR-141 RNA in Hepatocellular carcinoma needs more investigations. Micro-RNA consists of 18-22 nucleotides. The role of miR-141 in hepatocellular carcinoma needs many investigations. The expression of miR-141 was elucidated in different cell lines including HepG2, HuH7, and the normal cell lines. The cell survival rate was detected in the case of untreated cells, control cells, and transfection by overexpression vector for miR-141, and anti-miR-141 transfection in the HepG2 cell line. The survival rate was at its highest level in the case of overexpressed miR-141 while it showed the least survival rate at anti-miR-141 transfection. Additionally, the effect of miR-141 was tested on both the IL-6 as an inflammatory cytokine and on TNF-α as well. In conclusion, miR-141 plays a pivotal role in HCC carcinogenesis.
