Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stands as the most prevalent form of primary liver cancer and is frequently linked to underlying chronic liver conditions such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and cirrhosis. Despite the progress achieved in the field of oncology, HCC remains a significant clinical challenge, primarily due to its typically late-stage diagnosis and the complex and multifaceted nature of its tumor biology. These factors contribute to the limited effectiveness of current treatment modalities and result in poor patient prognosis. Emerging research has underscored the vital role of microRNAs (miRNAs)-small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a pivotal part in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. These miRNAs are integral to a wide array of cellular functions, including proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation, and their dysregulation is closely associated with the pathogenesis of various cancers, notably HCC. A major focus in recent studies has been on the epigenetic regulation of miRNAs through methylation, a key mechanism that modulates gene expression. This process, involving the addition of methyl groups to CpG islands in the promoter regions of miRNA genes, can result in either gene silencing or activation, influencing the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Such alterations have profound implications for tumor growth, metastasis, and resistance to treatment. Evidence suggests that aberrant miRNA methylation can serve as a powerful biomarker for early detection and prognosis in HCC and may present novel opportunities for therapeutic intervention. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of miRNA methylation in HCC, elucidating its significance in the molecular mechanisms of liver cancer and examining its potential for clinical application. By exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of miRNA methylation, we seek to highlight its value in enhancing personalized treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes.
