Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health burden globally. Dysregulation of miRNA 148a-3p is engaged in carcinogenesis. TGF-β is a profibrogenic cytokine. This study assesses the expression level of miRNA 148a-3p and its relationship with serum TGF-β1 and fibrosis index based on four factors (FIB-4) in Egyptian patients with HCV-associated HCC. and Methods: The study included 72 HCC patients with HCV, 48 HCV cirrhotic patients, and 47 healthy controls. Serum TGF-β1 was assessed by ELISA and the expression of miRNA 148a-3p was measured by RT-PCR. Patients with HCC had lower plasma miRNA 148a-3p, higher serum TGF-β1, and higher FIB-4 levels than patients with cirrhosis and controls. miRNA 148a-3p discriminated HCC either from control (AUC: 0.997, 95.83% sensitivity, 85.11% specificity) or from cirrhosis (AUC: 0.943, 91.67% sensitivity, 81.25% specificity). Moreover, it distinguished metastatic from nonmetastatic patients (AUC: 0.800, 88.89% sensitivity, 60.0% specificity). The decreased miRNA 148a-3p and the increased TGF-β1 levels were related to distant metastasis, multinodular lesions, advanced TNM stage, and BCLC score (C). A negative correlation between miRNA 148a-3p and each of FIB-4 and TGF-β1 was detected. The decreased miRNA 148a-3p was associated with poor overall survival and poor progression-free survival. An inverse relationship between miRNA 148a-3p and both TGF-β1 and FIB-4 was observed, which could be involved in HCC pathogenesis. Moreover, this miRNA is a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for HCC. •Dysregulation of miRNA-148a expression has been associated with HCC carcinogenesis.•miRNA-148a-3p has a negative correlation with FIB4 and TGF-β1.•The decreased miRNA-148a-3p and the increased TGF-β1 were related to distant metastasis.•The decreased miR-148a-3p was associated with poor overall survival and progression-free survival.
AbstractList • Dysregulation of miRNA-148a expression has been associated with HCC carcinogenesis. • miRNA-148a-3p has a negative correlation with FIB4 and TGF-β1. • The decreased miRNA-148a-3p and the increased TGF-β1 were related to distant metastasis. • The decreased miR-148a-3p was associated with poor overall survival and progression-free survival.
