Furthermore, in Huh7 and HepG2 human liver cancer cells, overexpression of NRIP1 suppressed the malignant potential of liver cancer cells by inhibiting NF-kappaB (NF-kB)-mediated alternative polarization of macrophages [84], while the downregulation of miR-140-3-p miRNA, which targets the NRIP1 mRNA, was suggested to influence the hepatocarcinogenesis by stimulating anti-apoptotic signaling [85]. Here, NFKB1 is linked to liver cancer.
