VEGFA and hepatocellular carcinoma: VEGF-A is known to be a direct target of miR-200b [33], but in our results, a significant decrease in VEGF-A levels assessed by western blotting was not observed in miR-200b/200a/429- and miR-141/200c-transduced MDA-MB-231 cells or in miR-141/200c-transduced HCC-38 cells relative to control.
