Discovery of a Novel Small-Molecule Inhibitor Disrupting TRBP–Dicer Interaction against Hepatocellular Carcinoma via the Modulation of microRNA Biogenesis
players in human hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC) tumorigenesis. Therefore, small molecules targeting components of miRNA biogenesis may provide new therapeutic means for HCC treatment. By a high-throughput screening and structural simplification, we identified a small molecule, CIB-3b, which suppresses the growth and metastasis of HCC in vitro and in vivo by modulating expression profiles of miRNAome and
