miRNA-424-5p (miR-424-5p) has been implicated in the development and progression of various tumors. However, the functional mechanisms of miR-424-5p in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are unclear. In this study, we investigated the specific biological functions of miRNA in HCC. ⋯ miR-424-5p is a tumor suppressor miRNA that inhibits cell proliferation and invasion via directly modulating TRIM29, which is related to cell proliferation and invasion in HCC. Thus, miR-424-5p may be a potential therapeutic and new prognostic marker for HCC.
