Inhibition of miR-15a-5p Promotes the Chemoresistance to Pirarubicin in Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Targeting eIF4E

Chemoresistance has become a primary hurdle in the therapeutic outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma. Substantial evidences have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are closely associated with the chemoresistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our investigation is aimed at testifying the influenc...
