Although a significant increase of miR-224 mean level was detected in All and the groups of HBV and NBNC, a significant inverse correlation between miR-224 and GNMT expression was only seen in All 78 HCC and HBV-related HCC specimens (R = −0.322, P = 0.004; R = −0.368, P = 0.018) (Fig. 5B). Here, GNMT is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
