Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers in the world. Two risk factors that cause 80–90% of HCC cases globally are chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). The diagnostic value of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in numerous tumors has been described. Our research assessed microRNA-16 (miR-16) as a novel biomarker in patients with HCV-induced HCC. The study included three groups. Group 1 included 55 individuals with cirrhosis caused by liver HCV infection in addition to HCC. Group 2 included 55 individuals with cirrhosis brought on by HCV infection. Group 3 included 55 normal control individuals. Expression of miR-16 in blood was assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The mean level of miR-16 was significantly different in the three groups, with group 1 having the greatest value (1.098 ± 0.647), followed by group 2 (1.1035 ± 0.8567) and group 3 (control subjects) having the lowest value (0.3842 ± 0.21485). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that miR-16 had a higher diagnostic value at area under the curve (AUC) of 0.935 than alpha-feto protein (AUC of 0.859) to differentiate between HCC and control subjects. MiR-16 has a sensitivity of 81.82 % and a specificity of 69.09%, to distinguish between patients with liver cirrhosis and HCC patients. Our findings illustrated that circulating miR-16 can be proposed as a marker for detection of patients with HCV-induced HCC.
