Functions

Ref.

miR-122

Huh7 cells

HepG2 cells

CAT1, FTF2B, etc.

Inhibit growth and proliferation and increase senescence of HepG2 cells

[16]

miR-122

AMSCs

HepG2 cells

ADAM10, IGF1R, CCNG1

Render HepG2 cells more sensitive to chemotherapeutic agents and inhibit HCC cells proliferation

[43]

miR-9-3p

a

a

HBGF-5

Reduce HCC cell viability and proliferation and reduce expression of ERK1/2

[36]

miR-335-5p

LX2 cells

MHCC97L, MHCC97H, Huh7, and HepG2 cells

CDC42, TCF3, CDK2, etc.

Inhibit recipient cell proliferation and invasion and reduce HCC tumor in size

[18]

miR-1247-3p

LM3 cells

Normal fibroblasts in lung tissues

B4GALT3

Promote the conversion of normal fibroblasts to CAFs and accelerate lung metastasis of HCC

[25]

miR-320a

CAFs

MHCC97-H cells and SMMC-7721 cells

PBX3

Inhibit tumor progression by suppressing MAPK pathway

[27]

miR-142, miR-223

Macrophages

Huh7 cells

STMN1

Inhibit HCC cell proliferation

[28]

miR-490

Mast cells

HepG2 and Hep3B cells

ERGIC3

Suppress EGFR/AKT/ERK1/2 pathway and inhibit migration of HCC cells

[20]

miR-584, miR-517c, miR-378, etc.

Hep3B cells

HepG2 cells

TAK1, TAB2, etc.

Associate with hepatocarcinogenesis and enhance transformed cell growth in recipient cells

[21]

miR-155

Arsenite-transformed L-02 cells

Native L-02 and THLE-3 cells

QKI

Promote inflammatory infiltration and HCC

[24]

  1. aExosomal miR-9-3p is from serum in this research, so no donor cells and recipient cells are mentioned
