MicroRNA-30a suppresses autophagy-mediated anoikis resistance and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma

MiRNA-30a (miR-30a) was previously reported as one of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-related microRNAs. However, the function of miR-30a on enhancing our biological understanding of HCC metastasis is not clear. This study demonstrated that miR-30a was significantly down-regulated in HCC tissues and cell lines, and was associated with vascular invasion, metastasis potential and recurrent disease in HCC. Functional studies confirmed that miR-30a could inhibit the metastasis of HCC in a well-established nude mouse model of lung metastasis.
