The high ratio of global mortality rate to incidence rate and steep increase in incidence of liver cancer warrants need for advancement of innovative cancer treatment and therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). miRNAs are fascinating prospects as treatments in the form of miRNA mimics or therapeutic targets because of their capacity to target various mRNAs that are changed in diseased states. Micronome is a tool to find signature miRNA for any disease and there is hardly any study on micronome in HCC. The aim of the present study was to identify the genes involved in tumor growth and angiogenesis in HCC patients and determine the signature miRNA by constructing a micronome. Herein, we performed a comprehensive analysis on dysregulated genes obtained from liver cancer gene databases. Only experimentally validated miRNA of angiogenesis genes were included in the study. Micronome was constructed using Cytoscape software and search tools for the retrieval of interacting genes (STRING) database. Dysregulated genes of HCC were integrated with miRNAs for identification of signature miRNA involved and identify genes (acting as positive or negative regulator) to elucidate the potential regulatory pathway or signaling. The study clearly reflects that hsa-mir-205-5p is the signature miRNA for positively regulating angiogenesis in HCC through VEGFA. These regulatory genes and signature miRNAs may be useful to understand the unique angiogenesis process of HCC and quick development of novel/better and cost effective molecular-targeted treatment strategies in HCC as the responsible regulatory molecules can be pinpointed with limited resources with use of bioinformatics.
