TRIB1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: To further examine the regulation of TRIB1 and p53 in HCC, we searched for a regulatory miRNA involved in the modulation of TRIB1 expression based on algorithm prediction of miRNA binding sites in the 3′-UTR of TRIB1 (Soubeyrand et al., 2016a) and the TargetScan-based prediction of TRIB1 as a target of miR-23a.
