Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal and widespread cancers in the human race. Despite its fatal attributes, there is only a limited understanding of the factors contributing to its pathogenesis at the cellular and molecular levels. Consequently, unraveling new facets involved in HCC progression is elemental for establishing novel targets and biomarkers for this disease. Over the last few years, emerging evidence signifies the role of RNA-induced silencing complex in mediating gene silencing and contributing to HCC. Recent studies also highlight the importance of human telomerase holoenzyme and its complex accessory proteins in the development of HCC. The current review encompasses the multifaceted roles of RNA-induced silencing complex and telomerase activity as well as their synergistic function in HCC.
