Kota et al. found out that the expression level of miR-26a is significantly downregulated in the MYC-induced hepatocarcinoma murine model (tet-o-MYC; LAP-tTA mice), and this result was further confirmed by detecting the expression profiling of miR-26a in human HCC and normal liver biopsies [75]. Here, MYC is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
