SELENOK and hepatocellular carcinoma: On the basis of the SELK up-expression in HCC cell lines when compared to normal hepatocytes [19] and to assess a possible regulation of SELK by miRNAs, we have first performed a prediction of target sites for human miRNAs within 3’UTR of SELK, and, then, we tested the sequence targets for responsiveness to hepatic miRNAs.
