AKT2 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Therefore, 17 genes (PRKCA, HRAS, TLN1, MAP2K1, PPP1CC, PTEN, AKT1, VEGFB, MAPK1, IGF1R, CCND1, ARHGAP5, BCL2, RAC1, PPP1R12A, RAP1A, RAP1B) of upregulated miRNAs and 21 genes (PIK3CG, CAV2, FLT1, ROCK1, MET, IGF1, ITGA3, HGF, KDR, AKT1, MAPK1, CRKL, PAK4, BCL2, VEGFA, MAPK9, MAPK8, CRK, PIK3R1, AKT2, PIK3R2) of downregulated miRNAs which are involved in focal adhesion may interact with the selected 6 miRNAs, thereby modulating invasion and metastasis in HCC.
