Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the expression of microRNA-155 (miR-155) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and adjacent normal tissues, and assess its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics of this tumor type. miR‑155 expression was detected in 40 HCC tissue samples and 40 samples of adjacent tumor‑free tissue using fluorescent reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR). The association between miR‑155 expression, clinicopathological features and 1‑year relapse‑free survival (RFS) in HCC and adjacent normal tissue samples was analyzed. RT‑qPCR results revealed that, in 25 cases (62.5%), miR‑155 expression levels were significantly increased in HCC tissues compared with the expression levels observed in pericarcinomatous tissues (P<0.05). miR‑155 expression was observed to be significantly correlated with vessel invasion, Edmonson classification and clinical stage (P<0.05). However, miR‑155 expression was not significantly correlated with gender, age, tumor size, tumor number, hepatitis B virus DNA copy number, cirrhosis or concentration of α‑fetoprotein (P>0.05). A positive correlation was observed between late TNM classification of malignant tumor stage and 1‑year RFS (P<0.05). Patients exhibiting high miR‑155 expression levels were observed to exhibit a lower 1‑year RFS than that of patients with reduced expression of miR‑155 (48 vs. 73.3%), however this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.105). Additionally, correlations were observed between miR‑155 expression and reduced differentiation, increased invasiveness and late stages of HCC. The current results demonstrated that miR‑155 may be involved in the tumorigenesis of HCC and may be associated with clinical characteristics of HCC patients. Additional studies are required to clarify the mechanism of miR-155.
