TFRC and hepatocellular carcinoma: The results of the present study demonstrate that miR-152, in addition to miR-31, miR-210, and miR-320 miRNAs, targets TFRC directly, evidenced by functional miR-152-TFRC analyses and an inverse correlation between markedly decreased miR-152 level and TFRC up-regulation in human HCC cells and HCC tissue samples.
