EGFR and gastric carcinoma: These miRNAs are responsible for the post-transcriptional regulation of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) mRNA translation through their binding to specific sequences in its 3′UTR, so the net effect of the horizontal transfer of EGFR to liver cells is an increase in HGF secretion in the liver microenvironment, which creates the ideal conditions for the establishment of gastric carcinoma cells, as they express high levels of the HGF receptors c-Met on their plasma membrane [100].
