HMMR and hepatocellular carcinoma: To investigate the potential (direct or indirect) regulation of ANLN, HMMR, TPX2, CCNB1, and CCNB2 expression by miR-122, human hepatoma cells Huh-7 were transfected with an antagomiR targeting miR-122 [15], and the expression of these genes was evaluated by qPCR.
