However, another study demonstrated that expression of miRNA‐125b‐5p is correlated with a poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients by targeting thioredoxin‐1 (TXNRD1), a key molecule associated with intracellular redox homeostasis that promotes energy and carbohydrate metabolism.29 Here, TXNRD1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
