We aim to characterize the expression of RNA panel in HCC. We assessed the expression of HCC-associated mRNA, miRNA and lncRNA network by real time PCR in sera and tissue samples. In a proof-of-principle approach, CRISPR cas9 mediated knock out for lncRNA- RP11-156p1.3 was performed in HEPG2 cell line to validate the role of the chosen RNA in HCC pathogenesis. The differential expression of RFTN1 mRNA, lncRNA- RP11-156p1.3 and miRNA-4764-5p was statistically different among the studied groups. After CRISPR cas9 mediated knockout of lncRNA- RP11-156p1.3 in HEPG2 cells, there was significant decrease in cell count and viability with reversal of the expression of the chosen RNAs. The chosen RNAs play a significant role in HCC pathogenesis and may be potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.
我们旨在描述 HCC 中 RNA 谱的表达。我们通过实时 PCR 评估了血清和组织样本中与 HCC 相关的 mRNA、miRNA 和 lncRNA 网络的表达。在原理验证方法中,在 HEPG2 细胞系中使用 CRISPR cas9 介导的敲除技术对 lncRNA-RP11-156p1.3 进行了敲除,以验证所选 RNA 在 HCC 发病机制中的作用。在研究的各组之间,RFTN1 mRNA、lncRNA-RP11-156p1.3 和 miRNA-4764-5p 的差异表达具有统计学意义。在 HEPG2 细胞中使用 CRISPR cas9 介导的 lncRNA-RP11-156p1.3 敲除后,细胞计数和活力明显下降,所选 RNA 的表达逆转。所选 RNA 在 HCC 发病机制中发挥重要作用,可能是潜在的诊断和治疗靶点。
