AFP and hepatocellular carcinoma: The HCC patients with high miR-483-5p expression were more often associated with high P3 mRNA expression, high AFP level, poor tumor differentiation (Edmondson grade III–IV), and tumor embolus of portal vein (TEPV) compared with the patients with low miR-483-5p expression, whereas there were no significant differences between the high and low miR-483-5p expression groups with respect to age, sex, tumor size, tumor nodularity, and HBV or HCV infection (Supplementary Table 2).
