Outline of Final Research Achievements

We extracted mRNA and microRNA from endothelial cells in HCC tissues. The expression of twelve mRNAs related angiogenesis was upregulated. The expression of miR-127-3p, miR-379-5p and miR-711 was upregulated and 70 microRNAs were downregulated in HCC tissues. miR30a-5p which was the most downregulated was added to cultured endothelial cells from HCC tissues. The growth activity of endothelial cells from HCC tissues was suppressed by miR30a-5p addition. In vivo experiments, tumor growth of HCC was suppressed by miR30a-5p addition from mouse tail vein. Tumor angiogenesis was suppressed in HCC tissues by miR30a-5p addition. However, sinusoidal density was not reduced by miR30a-5p.
