Years later the term “microRNA” (miRNA, miR) was introduced [1]. Nowadays, more than 2600 miRNAs have been predicted to be encoded by the human genome, with the ability to modulate more than 15,000 genes [2]. Being small and noncoding RNAs, they have a huge and significant function in gene regulation and cancer development. Liver cancer, although not being at the top of most common cancers, remains among cancers with high mortality. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for approximately 80% of all liver cancers and is a main cause of cancer mortality [3]. Hereinafter, when using the term liver cancer, it is meant to indicate hepatocellular carcinoma. The most obvious and significant reason for this high mortality rate in HCC patients is the late diagnosis of HCC. Against this background, every aspect of molecular pathogenesis becomes a valuable detail, which may aid in understanding HCC development. Some of the main miRNAs involved in the development of liver cancer will be discussed further. Changes in their expression levels were detected in comparable conditions: mostly in human liver tissue samples or human blood samples (plasma or serum) by qRT-PCR.
Despite the simple structure of a mature miRNA molecule—single-stranded RNA molecule of 20–25 nt—its biogenesis, like almost any process relating to nucleic acids, is multistage and multifactorial: It takes place both in the nucleus and in the cell cytoplasm, involves protein complexes for processing (miRNA maturation), may be performed
miRNA processing may occur post- or co-transcriptionally [4]. miRNA biogenesis starts in the nucleus and requires RNA polymerase II/III; Drosha (an RNase III-like enzyme) with its cofactor, the RNA binding protein DGCR8 (DiGeorge Syndrome Critical Region 8), forms a microprocessor complex and functions in the nucleus, an exportin (frequently Exportin5 in the canonical pathway and Exportin1 in the non-canonical pathway) functioning as the transporter to the cytoplasm. Dicer, another RNase III-like endonuclease, RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) functioning in the cytoplasm with Argonaute (AGO) as a core component. miRNA biogenesis starts with the processing of RNA polymerase II/III and forming pri-miRNAs, which are 5′ capped and 3′ polyadenylated, approximately several kilobases [5, 6]. In the canonical pathway, pri-miRNAs then are processed in the microprocessor complex of Drosha and DGCR8. The resulting ∼70 nucleotide RNAs with 2 nt 3′ overhang are known as precursor (pre-) miRNAs, which fold into mini-helical structures [7]. Pre-miRNAs are transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm with Exportin 5/RanGTP complex, where they undergo processing with Dicer, which recognizes the pre-miRNA hairpin and cuts it at the loop end, resulting in the removal of the terminal loop and creating a ∼22 nt RNA duplex [8]. The final step of the miRNA biogenesis is processing the duplex miRNA into mature single-stranded miRNA by loading it onto an Argonaute (Ago) protein, which is the core protein in this final effector complex—RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The mature miRNA may be derived from both the 5’ and 3’ arms of the precursor duplex and are called the miRNA-5p and -3p, respectively [9].
As for regulation of miRNA expression with some miRNAs having their own promotors and some being regulated by other gene promotors, besides methylation, different endogenous factors, and hypoxia, different transcription factors (TF) also participate in miRNAs expression regulation and this is a double-edged process: TFs influence miRNA expression and miRNAs may repress TF expression [7, 10]. miRNA, TFs, and target genes form a complex relationship known as feedback loops (FBLs) and feed-forward loops (FFLs) [11]. Typically, FBLs occur when a TF activates or represses a miRNA, which in turn represses the TF; the miRNA and TF each regulate independent sets of TGs. FFLs are those where a regulator, such as a TF, controls the expression of a specific TG both directly, through promoting or enhancing its transcription, and indirectly, through another regulator, such as an miRNA that also regulates the TG [12].
mRNA and miRNA interaction implies binding of the last to the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of mRNA through base-pairing of the seed region of target mRNA, mainly at position 2–7 from the 5′ end of the miRNA; beyond the seed region, the binding between the whole mature miRNA sequence and the target mRNA is not perfectly complementary [13]. However, the interaction of miRNAs with other regions, including the 5′ UTR, coding sequence, and gene promoters, has also been reported. In general, there is no direct correlation between miRNA and target mRNA expression levels. Multiple miRNAs can regulate a single gene/mRNA, and some miRNAs can target many mRNAs (up to more than 100 mRNAs) and from 1 to 2% of human transcripts interact with nine or more miRNAs, thus displaying sponge-like activity [14]. Furthermore, miRNAs have been shown to activate gene expression under certain conditions [5]. Along with mRNAs differing in their miRNA-binding capacity, binding activity of some highly expressed miRNAs may be weakened by either a high target-to-miRNA ratio or the relocation of this miRNA to the nucleus. Some miRNAs might be expressed at relatively low levels and interact with many mRNAs and, oppositely, some miRNAs might be expressed at a very high level and interact with only a few mRNAs [15].
Considering all of the above, it makes identifying the specific miRNA-target gene or transcription factor-target gene interactions difficult, and possibly unwarranted [12].
Apparently, miRNAs are involved in all processes underlying normal liver functioning, so main pathologic processes, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), fibrosis at the background of various diseases, and cancer are associated with significant changes in miRNA expression profiles, although these changes are not always associated with target mRNA expression changes and the mechanism of miRNA participation in these processes is not clear. A significant role of some miRNAs was shown for main liver functions such as lipid metabolism and all the steps of glucose metabolism, including lipogenesis.
Pivotal role of miR-34a in PPARα (the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha) pathway, which is a direct target of miR-34a and a master regulator of lipid metabolism, was shown in cultured cells transfected with miR-34a inhibitor and simultaneously consequences of miR-34a inhibition were shown in C57BL/6 mice injected with the miR-34a inhibitor [16]. The upregulation of miR-34a resulted in the downregulation of hepatic PPARα and SIRT1 (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1), silencing miR-34a led to an initially increased expression of PPARα, SIRT1, and PPARα’s downstream genes, and activation of the central metabolic sensor AMPK was also increased. In the mouse model, the miR-34a inhibitor suppressed lipid accumulation and improved the degree of steatosis, which is assumed to be regular as far as its level was significantly upregulated in liver tissues of high-fat diet-fed mice [17].
miR-122 is among those playing a crucial role in lipid metabolism in the liver: miR-122 expression in mice liver was increased by free fatty acids (FFAs)
Among other miRNAs, possibly acting as modulators of lipid and cholesterol levels in the maintenance of cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism, are miR-33, miR-103, miR-104, and miR-307 [22, 23]. Obviously, some miRNAs may be involved in both lipid and glucose metabolisms, as far as one miRNA may have multiple mRNA targets. One of these miRNAs is miR-33a and miR-33b, intronic miRNAs located within the sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) genes, working in concert with its host gene to ensure a fine-tuned regulation of lipid and glucose homeostasis. miR33b also cooperates with SREBP1, having an impact on key regulatory enzymes of hepatic gluconeogenesis glucose metabolism—phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK1) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC). Overexpression of miR-33b in human hepatic cells leads to a significant reduction of glucose production
miR-206 was shown as a potent lipid and glucose production inhibitor by simultaneously facilitating insulin signaling and impairing hepatic lipogenesis due to promoting phosphorylation of INSR (insulin receptor) and impaired hepatic lipogenesis by inhibiting Srebp1 (sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1) transcription and inhibition of PTPN1 (protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 1)
miR-103 and miR-107 were the first two miRNAs shown to regulate insulin sensitivity in liver and adipose tissue in mice: Their overexpression in these mouse models led to downregulation of caveolin-1 expression, a component of caveolae lipid raft required for insulin receptor signaling. miR-802 was also shown to be involved in the regulation of insulin sensitivity and glucose transport: elevated miR-802 decreased expression of HNF1β while increasing expression of the insulin suppressors, SOCS1 and SOCS3. Increased expression of both SOCS1 and SOCS2, in turn, desensitizes insulin signaling, resulting in increased hepatic glucose production in these mouse models [26]. It is worth noting that miR-23a was first reported as a regulator of gluconeogenesis through direct binding at the 3’-UTRs of both G6Pase and PGC-1α mRNAs, and later its expression was found to be elevated in hepatocytes of hepatocellular carcinoma mice where gluconeogenesis is attenuated [27].
In general, when discussing miRNA functions and interactions, it should be noted, besides its elusive relations with mRNA, that they are not limited to mRNA and involve other RNAs as well, that may influence its activity and function, for example, circRNAs have been validated as microRNA (miRNA) sponges, which have complementary sequences binding to their target miRNAs, thereby inhibiting the function of those miRNAs and abolishing the inhibition of target gene expression [27]. Circ-0000092 with such miRNA sponging activity and miR-338-3p as a target miRNA was shown to be elevated in HCC tissue (40 patients, RT-qPCR, GAPDH) and cell lines, while miR-338-3p was shown to be decreased (40 patients, RT-qPCR, U6 as an internal control) [28]. Simultaneously, miRNA-338-3p target, HN1, shown to be overexpressed by Liu et al. in liver cancer and known to be involved in metastasis and invasion development in breast and prostate cancer partly due to negative impact on the b-catenin/E-cadherin interaction, was shown to be elevated along with circ-0000092 [29]. These data along with the effects of delivery of a series of mimic, inhibitor, or siRNA plasmids into HCC cells on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis
It is evident that most of the processes taking place in the liver in normal condition require different miRNAs and assumably healthy hepatocyte should have its “normal” miRNA profile with wide ranges, which make it possible to suggest—there are strong pieces of evidence that will be discussed further—those different pathologic processes, forming the diseases, are accompanied with different changes in miRNA expression levels. With regard to hepatocellular carcinoma, it could be speculated that in the very initial stages, particularly at preclinical stages when it is favorable for cancer background but still no clinical manifestation of cancer, liver cancer may have different miRNA expression profiles within the same cancer type. Further will be discussed the liver cancer development and partly the background of viral hepatitis B, viral hepatitis C, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD).
miRNAs along with other nucleic acids have a significant impact on cancer development, where they may have both the role of cancer promotion and cancer suppression; therefore, miRNAs with increased expression in tumors are thought to function as oncogenes and are termed as oncomirs. On the contrary, miRNAs with decreased expression in cancer cells are considered tumor suppressor genes, presumably preventing tumor development by negatively inhibiting oncogenes and/or genes that control cell differentiation or apoptosis [32]. miRNAs are known to be involved in most signaling pathways, and in the liver cancer development, the same signaling pathways are involved, like in most other cancer types, such as TGF-β, Wnt/B-catenin, Hh, Notch, EGF, HGF, VEFG, JAK/STAT, Hippo, and HIF, which lead to uncontrolled cell division and metastasis [32].
Main miRNAs, involved in TGF-β regulation, are miR-200, miR-21, miR-211, miR-17/92, miR-106b/25, and miR-182 [33]. miR-200 and miR-21 are one of the main players among noncoding RNAs in interaction with TGF-β signaling in the process of EMT. miR-200 forming a double-negative feedback loop with ZEB factors (zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox) plays a significant role in EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition): miR-200 is downregulated because of reversible DNA methylation of the miR-200 loci as a result of prolonged autocrine TGF-β signaling, driving a sustained ZEB expression, and thus maintaining a stable mesenchymal phenotype. miR-200 is known to interact with both ZEB factors—(ZEB1; also known as deltaEF1) and SIP1 (also known as ZEB2) [34]. miR-200a is responsible for significant inhibition of cell proliferation and colony formation rate in HCCLM3 and HepG2 cell lines, while knocking out miR-200a restores the rate of proliferation and colony formation of cancer cells [35]. miRNA expression levels of miR-200 family tend to be decreased in individuals with liver cancer (plasma and tissue), compared with healthy individuals, and have a prognostic value for patients with HCC: microRNA-200a and miR-200c were independent prognostic factors for hepatocellular carcinoma and induced cell cycle arrest by targeting CDK6 or MAD2L1, respectively [36]. Opposite to miR-200 family, expression of miR-21 is induced in response to TGF-β signaling and is associated with tumor invasion and chemoresistance
Members of the miR-17-92 and the miR-106b-25 clusters have been implicated in the progression of liver fibrosis through the influence on the expression of TGF-β receptor II (TGF-βRII), having opposite effects on this expression. miR-19b has been shown to play an inhibitory role in hepatic stem cell-mediated fibrogenesis and to be decreased in fibrotic rats and human livers. Overexpression of miR-19b inhibited the expression of TGF-βRII, which in turn inhibited SMAD3 expression and, as a result, reduced type-1 collagen production. Unlike miR-19b, miR-93 and miR-106b were observed to be consistently upregulated during the development of cirrhosis, and miR-106b along with miR-181was shown to have a diagnostic value for liver cirrhosis irrespective of the etiology [40].
miR-211, which is known to be involved in TGF-β interaction in prostate cancer cells, was shown to be involved in WNT-β signaling regulation via SATB2. In prostate cancer cells, increased expression of miR-211 inhibited expression of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, smad2, smad3, phosphorylated smad2, and smad3, and stem cell markers and
MiR-125b is known to interact with the Hh pathway, which is a well-known factor regulating liver reconstitution. miR-125b, produced by CP-MSCs (chorionic platelet-derived mesenchymal stem cells), attenuates Hh activation partly due to Smo expression inhibition and the consequence of this regulation is the promotion of the regression of fibrosis, contributing to liver regeneration [42]. It was demonstrated that another target of miR-125b in HCC cells is LIN28B, and simultaneously miR-125b may increase p21Cip1/Waf1 expression and arrest cell cycle at G₁ to S transition, which may contribute to suppression of HCC cell migration, invasion, and growth
miRNA-199a-3p, being one of the putative therapeutic tools in liver cancer, may perform its anticancer effect through involvement in NOTCH signaling. miRNA-199a-3p is downregulated in liver cancer tissues and most liver cancer cell lines; in liver cancer cell lines (MHCC97H, Hep3B, SMMC-7721, Huh7, and HepG2), its expression was significantly lower than in normal liver cell lines; simultaneously, mRNA YAP1 expression was significantly higher than in normal liver cell lines. It was shown that miRNA-199a-3p targets YAP1, downregulates Jagged1, and suppresses the Notch signaling, which results in HCC cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis promotion [46]. In a mouse model with induced HCC treatment with miRNA-199a-3p showed regression of hepatocellular carcinoma with the restoration of normal architecture on histopathological examination of liver specimens [47].
In liver cancer, HGF, ERBB3, and NF-κB form a positive feedback loop: higher expression of ERBB3 makes liver cancer cells more sensitive to HGF stimulation; moreover, HGF enhances ERBB3 expression by NF-κB transcriptional activity. miR-17-5p and miR-20a-5p in liver cancer cell lines and mice xenograft models were shown to suppress liver cancer cell proliferation after hepatectomy
Taking into account the ambiguous relation between miRNA and mRNA expression levels and other factors, including circRNAs and proteins, associated with miRNA biogenesis and those involved in miRNA and mRNA interactions, prediction of changes in miRNA expression levels in any cancer, including liver cancer, becomes not that obvious task.
Along with changes on the genetic level, metabolic changes accompany cancer development in order to provide cells functioning in changing conditions, mainly hypoxia and glucose insufficiency due to intensive cell proliferation and clonal expansion and lagging in blood vessel formation. One of the main such metabolic reorganizations is Warburg effect, firstly reported in rat liver carcinoma in the 1920s and defined as an increase in the rate of glucose uptake and preferential production of lactate even in the presence of oxygen [56]. Main miRNAs, which are involved in Warburg effect realization in HCC cells, are miR-1, miR-122, and miR-338-3p [57]. The expression of the miR-1 targets G6PD and is mediated by NRF2, which, besides activating the transcription of genes encoding glycolytic enzymes, inhibits the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA by directly activating pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) and leads to inhibition of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, promoting Warburg effect [58]. At the background of these interactions, it may appear to be regular that a higher expression of miR-1 showed a significant positive prognostic meaning for patients with HCC: Individuals with higher miR-1 serum levels showed longer OS than those with lower miR-1 serum concentrations (195 sera of HCC patients and 54 patients with liver cirrhosis; HR 0.451, 95% CI 0.228–0.856, P = 0.015). At the same time, serum miR-1 and miR-122 concentrations did not differ significantly between patients with HCC and liver cirrhosis [58].
miR-122 is another element of the processes that are assumed to restrain Warburg effect promotion, as far as among its main targets are Agpat 1 and Dgat 1 mRNAs, involved in triglyceride synthesis. One of the most important direct targets of miR-122 in HCC cells is PKM2, which is the most abundant pyruvate kinase iso-enzyme in liver tumors and a co-activator of several transcription factors, such as HIF-1α, β-catenin/c-Myc, NF-κB, and STAT3. Once in the nucleus, PKM2 can promote the transcription of target genes, such as HIF-1α targeted expression of GLUTs, PKM2, LDH-A, and VEGF-A, leading to the promotion of growth, positive feedback regulated glycolysis, and angiogenesis in cancer cells [59], and all these allow miR-122 to promote a decrease in lactate production and increase in oxygen consumption, thus reversing oxygen-independent glycolytic metabolism. Along with this, Yang G. et al. showed that miR-122 is downregulated in tissue samples from patients with HCC and also participates in ADAM17 regulation, which makes upregulation of miR-122 to inhibit proliferation of HCC cells
miR-338-3p has the same impact on Warburg effect in cancer liver cells such as miR-1 and miR-122, inhibiting it through decreasing expression of liver and red blood cell pyruvate kinase isoform (PKLR). miR-338-3p may be inactivated in HCC due to upregulation of circMAT2B, sequestering miR-338-3p due to its sponging activity, and disabling the regulation of its target gene PKM2 leading to increased proliferation, invasion, spheroid formation, and organoid dimensions, especially in hypoxic conditions [59]. Expression of miR-338-3p in tissue samples from patients with HCC was also shown to be decreased [33].
miR-23 was shown to be involved in gluconeogenesis regulation in liver cancer developed in the mouse model. Reduction in serum glucose in tumor-bearing mice correlated with a reduction in the expressions of G6pc, Pepck, and Fbp1 encoding the key gluconeogenic enzymes glucose-6-phosphatase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose-1,6-phosphatase, respectively, and the transcription factor Pgc-1α along with upregulation of miR-23a expression. mRNA levels of these genes were reduced to ≈80% in the majority of primary human HCC tissue samples compared with matching peritumoral liver samples and miR-23a was also upregulated in human liver cancer samples. Moreover, PGC-1α and G6PC expression negatively correlated with miR-23a expression in human HCCs [63]. miR-23a has a significant diagnostic value as far as it may distinguish cirrhotic liver samples from cancer liver samples, being higher in the HCC group than cirrhotic. miR-23a was significantly higher in HCC patients with focal lesion size equal or more than 5 cm, patients with multiple focal lesions, and Okuda stage III. At cutoff value ≥ 210, miR-23a showed accuracy of 79.3% to diagnose HCC patients with sensitivity of 89.47% and specificity of about 64.91% ((57 patients with HCC, 57 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), and 57 healthy subjects as control group) and serum alpha-fetoprotein at cut off level ≥ 200 ng/mL had 73.68% sensitivity and 52.63% specificity for diagnosis of HCC [64].
Pathological states in some cases underlying liver cancer development are also accompanied by changes in miRNA expression levels such as hepatitis B virus infection, hepatitis C virus infection, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and alcoholic liver disease. One of miRNAs, which is associated with hepatitis virus, is miR-23 [31]. Other miRNAs also may differentiate HCC samples at the background of viral hepatitis from others, such as miR-17-92. Together with miR-21, its expression level was increased in hepatitis B virus-positive human and woodchuck HCC samples. Possibly, hepatitis B virus X and miR-17-92 share common target gene, which is c-myc, which is activated by virus and is known to be the instrument of carcinogenesis promotion of miR-17-92 [65]. Unlike HCV infection, HBV is known to induce HCC development gapping cirrhosis stage, thus making molecular predictors of cancer in this case especially required. Besides miR-122 and miR-17-92, other miRNAs, involved in HBV pathogenesis following HCC development, are miR-184, miR-185, miR-196a, miR-199a-3p, miR-210, miR-217, and miR-34a, which are involved in HBV transcription process. The expression of the last is inhibited by HBV X protein (HBx)
In case of HCV infection, there are miRNAs, which not just regulate expression of the genes, involved in virus replication, but are able to directly target the viral genome. Among these miRNAs are miR-196, miR-448, and miR-122, which stabilize the 5′ and 3′ UTRs of the HCV genome, so inhibition of this miRNA dramatically reduces the replication of HCV RNA [77, 78]. miRNAs, involved in viral replication
When it concerns alcoholic liver disease, miRNA expression profile changes especially due to increase in expression of inflammation-related miRNAs, such as miR-132, miR-155, miR-146, and miR-21, which influence alcohol/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/TLR4 pathways, transmitting proinflammatory stimuli
Another risk factor for HCC development is NAFLD. It was revealed that miR-34a and miR-122 identified in blood serum are potential markers for discriminating NAFLD patients from healthy controls with an area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.781 and 0.858, respectively, along with miR-21, miR-125b, and miR-375 did not show significant difference in level expression between NAFLD patients and healthy controls. Serum levels of miR-34a and miR-122 were found to be significantly higher among NAFLD patients and were positively correlated with VLDL-C and triglyceride levels [83]. The other study showed the same tendency for miRNA-34a and miRNA-122, and also found a significant difference in level expression of following miRNA: miR-21and miR-451. Moreover, the serum level of miR-122 was correlated with the severity of liver steatosis; however, in the previous study, the expression levels of miR-34a and miR-122 did not correlate with the histological features of NAFLD [83]. There is at least one common signaling pathway, involving both miRNA-34a and miRNA-122, which is AMPK [21, 82]. It should be admitted that along with being possibly involved in the regulation of the same targets, miRNA-122 and miRNA-34 definitely should have similar effects as far as miRNA-122 expression is decreased in cancers including liver cancer, and miRNA-34 expression is decreased in liver cancer while being elevated in chronic hepatitis C patients. Targets and mechanisms of miRNA-34 involvement in the liver cancer development are known in less details than miRNA-122. It is supposed, that through involvement in the Sirt1/p53 pathway regulation, miRNA-34 promotes liver fibrosis in patients with HCV [84]. It is possible to speculate that with loss of the benign liver cells phenotype, malignant liver cells lose possibility of normal miRNA-34 expression as far as miRNA-34 expression is significantly decreased in liver cancer cells. One of the possible mechanisms of miRNA-34 involvement in the liver cancer development is glucose metabolism, in which LDHA, which is the target gene of miRNA-34, participates in glucose metabolism reprograming with its switch to the increased glycolysis [85]. In its turn, miRNA-122 is also indirectly involved in glucose metabolism, having Igf1R as one of its targets [63]. The other putative intersection of these two miRNAs is p53 pathway, as far as both participate in its regulation. miRNA-34 in the context of HCV fibrosis via Sirt1 regulation and miRNA-122 through cyclin G1, which results in increased p53 protein stability activity and reduction in invasion capabilities of HCC cells with elevated miRNA-122 expression [86]. Another miRNA-132, which possibly shares with miRNA-34 SIRT1 as a common target, is miRNA-132. This miRNA is elevated in the response to alcohol consumption, while
With the cancer development, differences in miRNA expression profiles smooth out as far as cancer cell phenotype and functions despite its different background development including such common features as promoted proliferation, disrupted apoptosis, and increased migratory and invasion capabilities. miRNA expression during the process of malignization changes in conformity with these demands, so far miRNA-34, being elevated in HCV liver cirrhosis, is decreased in the liver cancer cells. Obviously, all changes in miRNA expression during cancer development tend to upregulation of oncogenic miRNAs and downregulation of tumor suppressor miRNAs, and with evolution of the stage of the tumor differences in miRNA expression associated with different background liver disease level out. However, different miRNAs may be involved in the same signaling pathways or share common target genes, which is allowed by the sequence and molecular nature of miRNA—mRNA interaction—and indirect influence of miRNA on the expression levels of the genes, which are not its direct targets.
Concerning signaling pathways disrupted in HCC, almost all these pathways the regulation is double-sided: miRNA may regulate the expression of the genes and genes may regulate the expression of miRNAs. For example, TGF-β signaling may modulate miRNA expression level
miR-141 and miR-200a expression levels were shown to be decreased and serum samples from patients with liver cancer (blood samples were taken from 30 patients with liver cancer and from 30 normal subjects, RNU6 or GAPDH as internal controls). The sensitivity and specificity of the investigated miRNAs for diagnosing tumor invasion in liver cancer and comparing metastasis of patients with liver cancer were higher in combination of miR-141 and miR-200a rather than alone, although the difference between AUC values in both cases—combination and one miR regimen—had no significant changes. The possible mechanism of cancer processes modulation was explained with E-cadherin and vimentin inhibition due to STAT4 inhibition, which was firstly reported as a target gene for these miRNAs [89, 90]. The study of Dhayat et al. also showed a significant negative correlation of miR-200a and miR-200b to the expression of the mesenchymal markers Vimentin and ZEB-1 and a significant positive correlation to the epithelial marker E-cadherin. Moreover, in this study, miR-200 family was significantly downregulated in HCC samples compared to liver cirrhosis and was shown to be able to distinguish between cirrhotic and HCC tissue [90].
miR-211-5p was significantly downregulated in patients with HCC (30 pairs of HCC tissues and matched adjacent tumor-free tissues, qRT-PCR, RNU6 (miRNA) as an endogenous control), although miR-211-5p expression in liver cancer samples was not significantly different from adjacent normal samples based on TCGA cohorts, it was considerably downregulated in 30 pairs of HCC tissues compared with matched adjacent tumor-free tissues from patients in clinics or real-world cohorts. It was also shown that miR-211-5p may have a prognostic role for HCC patients: Patients with a decreased expression of miR-211-5p had poor overall survival [91]. In another study, miR-211-5p was found to be decreased in 33 out of 40 HCC tissue samples compared with the corresponding non-tumor tissues; moreover, tissues from lymph node metastases also expressed lower levels of miR-211 compared with primary HCC tissues and the adjacent normal tissue (qRT-PCR, the endogenous U6 snRNA or GAPDH as the internal control) [68]. Among miR-211-5p targets are STAB2, SPARC, ZEB2, and ACSL4, negatively regulating these genes, miR-211-5p participates in the suppression of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in HCC tissues [92].
In contrast, miR-17/92 expression levels were shown to be highly expressed in HCC tissues compared to the non-tumor liver tissues (94 cases of HCC, 5 cases of cancer adjacent to normal hepatic tissue, and 5 cases of normal liver tissue; U6 small nuclear 2 (U6b) as an internal control, RT-PCR). In this study, it was shown that expression of miR-17-92 was negatively correlated with several target genes, including CREBL2, PRRG1, and NTN4, when analyzing the miRNA and mRNA sequencing data from the 312 hepatocellular cancer patients available from the TCGA database [68].
Expression level of miR-182-5p was also elevated in HCC tissues and its high expression level correlated with poor prognosis such as early recurrence in patients who underwent curative surgery (tissue samples from 119 patients; RT-PCR, U6 snRNA was probed as a loading control; the disease-free survival was calculated from the date of resection to the date of tumor recurrence). Promotion of HCC proliferation by miR-182-5p is partly possible due to the ability of the last to directly target 3′-UTR of FOXO3a and thus inhibits FOXO3a expression, activating AKT/FOXO3a pathway. MiR-182-5p interacts with 3`-UTR of FOXO3a by binding to the 72-79 site, but not the 914–921 site in the 3′-UTR of FOXO3a [93].
However, in almost all these pathways the regulation is double-sided: miRNA may regulate the expression of the genes, and genes may regulate the expression of miRNAs. TGF-β signaling may modulate miRNA expression level
It may seem interesting that almost none of these miRNAs were included in the list of miRNAs, implying HCC signature based on TCGA database, which consists of 540 miRNA expression profiles from 348 HCC patients, of whom 248 had early-stage and 90 had advanced-stage HCC. SVM-HCC, based on an SVM29 incorporating the feature selection algorithm IBCGAa proposed method, used a feature selection algorithm (IBCGA) to select a significant miRNA signature associated with early and advanced stages of HCC. This signature contains 23 miRNAs: in order of decreasing MED (Main Effect Difference) scores, miR-550a, miR-549, miR-518b, miR-512, miR-1179, miR-574, miR-424, miR-4286, let-7i, miR-320a, miR-17, miR-299, miR-3651, miR-2277, miR-621, miR-181c, miR-539, miR-106b, miR-1269, miR-139, miR-152, miR-2355, and miR-150. Moreover, the significance of 10 top-ranked miRNAs in distinguishing HCC tissue samples from normal tissue samples and their prognostic values were proved on different datasets [94]. For some of these miRNAs with the highest MED scores, there are known targets in the context of liver cancer development. Among direct targets of miRNA-320a, there are β-catenin, c-myc, cyclin D1, and dickkopf-1; functional studies have shown a significantly decreased capability of cell proliferation and G0/G1 growth arrest
This emphasizes the importance of working with customized algorithms and validated big datasets, when many of the aspects of the process you are studying—like miRNA involvement in carcinogenesis—stay unclear, making identification of the most promising diagnostic and/or prognostic and/or therapeutic molecules

miRNAs in liver cancer development.
miRNAs play a pivotal role in liver cancer development; presumably in the early stages of HCC development, its multiple miRNA expression profiles may be distinguished depending on the etiological factor, such as HBV, HCV, NAFLD, or ALD. miRNAs are biomarkers with a huge potency as far as they are small, stable, and protected from RNases

Many researches have been conducted to determine the best control method for vortex flow in pump sumps so that the pump lifespan can be maximized. In this study, a vortex control principle designed to minimize the impact of submerged vortex flow in pump sump on major pump components is presented. This principle employs a device called the plate type floor splitter which serves the function of eliminating vortices formed on the sump floor and reduces the intensity of swirling motion in the intake flow. A pump sump model was built to carry out the study by installing a floor splitter plate sample under the pump suction inlet and the corresponding parameters used to quantify the swirl intensity known as the swirl angle was measured. Procedures for the measurement were conducted based on ANSI/HI 9.8-2018 standard. A numerical simulation was performed to study the flow in a full-scale pump sump. The results showed that the installation of floor splitter plate can eliminate vortices efficiently and reduce swirl angle significantly. However, optimization of floor splitter design is needed to achieve a reduction effect that can reduce swirl angles to an acceptable value of lower than 5° according to ANSI/HI 9.8-2018 standard.",book:{id:"10080",slug:"vortex-dynamics-theories-and-applications",title:"Vortex Dynamics Theories and Applications",fullTitle:"Vortex Dynamics Theories and Applications"},signatures:"Zambri Harun, Tajul Ariffin Norizan and Wan Hanna Melini Wan Mohtar",authors:[{id:"243152",title:"Dr.",name:"Zambri",middleName:null,surname:"Harun",slug:"zambri-harun",fullName:"Zambri Harun"},{id:"313310",title:"Mr.",name:"Tajul Ariffin",middleName:null,surname:"Norizan",slug:"tajul-ariffin-norizan",fullName:"Tajul Ariffin Norizan"},{id:"317421",title:"Dr.",name:"Wan Hanna Melini",middleName:null,surname:"Wan Mohtar",slug:"wan-hanna-melini-wan-mohtar",fullName:"Wan Hanna Melini Wan Mohtar"}]},{id:"20216",title:"Ionic Liquids in Separation Techniques",slug:"ionic-liquids-in-separation-techniques",totalDownloads:8542,totalCrossrefCites:4,totalDimensionsCites:7,abstract:null,book:{id:"1300",slug:"applications-of-ionic-liquids-in-science-and-technology",title:"Applications of Ionic Liquids in Science and Technology",fullTitle:"Applications of Ionic Liquids in Science and Technology"},signatures:"Jolanta Flieger and Anna Czajkowska-Żelazko",authors:[{id:"20797",title:"Dr.",name:"Jolanta",middleName:null,surname:"Flieger",slug:"jolanta-flieger",fullName:"Jolanta Flieger"},{id:"136020",title:"Prof.",name:"Czajkowska",middleName:null,surname:"Żelazko",slug:"czajkowska-zelazko",fullName:"Czajkowska Żelazko"}]},{id:"71403",title:"Supercritical-Fluids Thermophysical Properties and Heat Transfer in Power-Engineering Applications",slug:"supercritical-fluids-thermophysical-properties-and-heat-transfer-in-power-engineering-applications",totalDownloads:1188,totalCrossrefCites:3,totalDimensionsCites:3,abstract:"Researches on specifics of thermophysical properties and heat transfer at supercritical pressures (SCPs) started as early as the 1930s with the study on free-convection heat transfer to fluids at a near-critical point. In the 1950s, the concept of using SC “steam” to increase thermal efficiency of coal-fired thermal power plants became an attractive option. Germany, USA, the former USSR, and some other countries extensively studied heat transfer to SC fluids (SCFs) during the 1950s till the 1980s. This research was primarily focused on bare circular tubes cooled with SC water (SCW). However, some studies were performed with modeling fluids such as SC carbon dioxide and refrigerants instead of SCW. Currently, the use of SC “steam” in coal-fired thermal power plants is the largest industrial application of fluids at SCPs. Near the end of the 1950s and at the beginning of the 1960s, several studies were conducted to investigate a possibility of using SCW as a coolant in nuclear reactors with the objective to increase thermal efficiency of nuclear power plants (NPPs) equipped with water-cooled reactors. However, these research activities were abandoned for some time and regained momentum in the 1990s. In support of the development of SCW-cooled nuclear-power reactor (SCWR) concepts, first experiments have been started in annular and various bundle flow geometries. At the same time, more numerical and CFD studies have been performed in support of our limited knowledge on specifics of heat transfer at SCPs in various flow geometries. As the first step in this process, heat transfer to SCW in vertical bare tubes can be investigated as a conservative approach (in general, heat transfer in fuel bundles will be enhanced with various types of appendages, that is, grids, end plates, spacers, bearing pads, fins, ribs, etc.). New experiments in the 1990–2000s were triggered by several reasons: (1) thermophysical properties of SCW and other SCFs have been updated from the 1950s–1970s, for example, a peak in thermal conductivity in the critical/pseudocritical points was “officially” introduced in 1990s; (2) experimental techniques have been improved; (3) in SCWRs, various bundle flow geometries will be used instead of bare-tube geometry; (4) in SC “steam” generators of thermal power plants, larger diameter tubes/pipes (20–40 mm) are used, however in SCWRs hydraulic-equivalent diameters of proposed bundles will be within 5–12 mm; (5) with Research and Development (R&D) of next-generation or Generation-IV nuclear-power-reactor concepts, new areas of application for SCFs have appeared—for example, SCP helium was proposed to be used as a reactor coolant, SCP Brayton and Rankine cycles with SC carbon dioxide as a working fluid are being developed, etc. A comparison of thermophysical properties of SCFs with those of subcritical-pressure fluids showed that SCFs as single-phase fluids have unique properties, which are close to “liquid-like” behavior below critical or pseudocritical points and are quite similar to the behavior of “gas-like” substances above these points. A comparison of selected SCW heat transfer correlations has shown that their results may differ from one to another by more than 200%. Based on these comparisons, it became evident that there is a need for reliable, accurate, and wide-range SCW heat transfer correlation(s) to be developed and verified. Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to summarize in concise form specifics of supercritical-fluids thermophysical properties and heat transfer in power-engineering applications.",book:{id:"9201",slug:"advanced-supercritical-fluids-technologies",title:"Advanced Supercritical Fluids Technologies",fullTitle:"Advanced Supercritical Fluids Technologies"},signatures:"Igor L.

Economy and Fair Society",keywords:"Sustainable, Society, Economy, Digitalization, KPIs, Decision Making, Business, Digital Footprint",scope:"\r\n\tGlobally, the ecological footprint is growing at a faster rate than GDP. This phenomenon has been studied by scientists for many years. However, clear strategies and actions are needed now more than ever. Every day, humanity, from individuals to businesses (public and private) and governments, are called to change their mindset in order to pursue a virtuous combination for sustainable development. Reasoning in a sustainable way entails, first and foremost, managing the available resources efficiently and strategically, whether they are natural, financial, human or relational. In this way, value is generated by contributing to the growth, improvement and socio-economic development of the communities and of all the players that make up its value chain. In the coming decades, we will need to be able to transition from a society in which economic well-being and health are measured by the growth of production and material consumption, to a society in which we live better while consuming less. In this context, digitization has the potential to disrupt processes, with significant implications for the environment and sustainable development. There are numerous challenges associated with sustainability and digitization, the need to consider new business models capable of extracting value, data ownership and sharing and integration, as well as collaboration across the entire supply chain of a product. In order to generate value, effectively developing a complex system based on sustainability principles is a challenge that requires a deep commitment to both technological factors, such as data and platforms, and human dimensions, such as trust and collaboration. Regular study, research and implementation must be part of the road to sustainable solutions. Consequently, this topic will analyze growth models and techniques aimed at achieving intergenerational equity in terms of economic, social and environmental well-being. It will also cover various subjects, including risk assessment in the context of sustainable economy and a just society.
