Abstract

It has been demonstrated that liver microRNA-125a-5p (miR-125a-5p) is correlated with disease progression in different liver diseases, including liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The present study investigated whether serum miR‑125a‑5p correlated with the progression of different liver diseases. Serum samples were obtained from healthy individuals, patients with chronic hepatitis B who had undergone a liver biopsy, and patients with HCC and were analyzed for the levels of miR‑125a‑5p. Compared with the healthy controls, the serum levels of miR‑125a‑5p were significantly higher in the liver fibrosis serum, and were reduced in HCC. With the development of liver fibrosis, there was a significant increase in the expression of miR‑125a‑5p (P<0.05). In comparing histological activity index (HAI) scores, higher expression levels of miR‑125a‑5p were observed in the high HAI score group (P<0.05). Furthermore, correlation between serum miR‑125a‑5p and viral replication (P<0.001) was observed. Notably, miR‑125a‑5p demonstrated significant correlation with other markers in the liver fibrosis group (P<0.001). In the patients with HCC, lower serum levels of miR‑125a‑5p were correlated with a poor prognosis, determined by Kaplan‑Meier curve analysis (P=0.009). In the liver fibrosis and HCC groups, different expression levels of serum miR‑125a‑5p were observed, and were correlated with disease progression. The results of the present study suggested that serum miR-125a-5p may be used as a non‑invasive biomarker for monitoring disease progression in liver diseases.
