MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play cross-cutting mechanistic roles in the complex interplay between viral pathogenesis, host survival, and clinical outcomes. The present study set out to identify etiologically significant human miRNAs associated with HBV infection in liver-related pathologies leading to HCC. In diverse tissue types, we assembled 573 miRNAs differentially expressed in HBV-associated liver pathologies, HBV infection, fibrosis, cirrhosis, acute on chronic liver failure, and HCC. Importantly, 43 human differentially expressed miRNAs (hDEmiRs) were regulated in serum\/plasma and liver tissue of patients with HBV-positive conditions. However, only two hDEmiRs, hsa-miR-21-5p and hsa-miR-143-3p, were regulated across all disease conditions. To shortlist the functional miRNAs in HBV-induced HCC pathogenesis, a reverse bioinformatics analysis was performed using eight GEO datasets and the TCGA database containing the list of differentially regulated mRNAs in HCC. A comparative study using these data with the identified targets of hDEmiRs, a set of unidirectionally regulated hDEmiRs with the potential to modulate mRNAs in HCC, were found. Moreover, our study identified five miRNAs; hsa-miR-98-5p, hsa-miR-193b-3p, hsa-miR-142-5p, hsa-miR-522-5p, and hsa-miR-370-3p targeting\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">PIGC<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">KNTC1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">CSTF2<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">SLC41A2<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">RAB17<\/jats:italic>\n                    , respectively, in HCC. These hDEmiRs and their targets could be pivotal in HBV infection and subsequent liver pathologies modulating HCC clinical progression. HBV infection is the largest contributor to HCC, and the present study comprises the first of its kind compendium of hDEmiRs related to HBV-related pathologies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/omi.2024.0071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]],"date-time":"2024-05-31T07:14:31Z","timestamp":1717139671000},"page":"280-290","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Etiologically Significant microRNAs in Hepatitis B Virus-Induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Krishnapriya","family":"Ramakrishnan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Integrative Omics Data Science, Yenepoya, Mangalore, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riya","family":"Vishwakarma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Integrative Omics Data Science, Yenepoya, Mangalore, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Radul R.","family":"Dev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Integrative Omics Data Science, Yenepoya, Mangalore, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2319-121X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rajesh","family":"Raju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Integrative Omics Data Science, Yenepoya, Mangalore, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8015-365X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Niyas","family":"Rehman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Integrative Omics Data Science, Yenepoya, Mangalore, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/2211536611666220428130250"},{"key":"e_1_3_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2613.2001.iep178.x"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_3_6_4_1","first-page":"161","article-title":"The role of microRNAs in human diseases","volume":"2","author":"Ardekani AM","year":"2010","unstructured":"Ardekani AM, , Naeini MM.
