VEGFA and hepatocellular carcinoma: Additionally, miR-361-5p levels are inversely correlated with VEGF-A expression in human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (127), miR-125a inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting VEGF-A (128), and miR-145 inhibits tumour angiogenesis, cell growth, invasion and tumour growth through the post-transcriptional regulation of VEGF-A (129,130).
