Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is the second leading common cancer among women globally. The disease begins with abnormal changes in the cervical that is generally associated with infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Studies indicated the crucial role of miRNAs in CC tumorigenesis, progression and metastasis. More than 40 miRNAs have been reported signifying their role in the regulation of CC.

Material and Methods: In the present study, the expression profiles of 24 miRNAs were measured using PCR array for tumor suppressor genes.

Results: We have reported 9 upregulated miRNA (hsa-miR-31-5p, hsa-miR-23b-3p, hsa-miR-30d-5p, hsa-miR-206, hsa-miR-20b-5p, hsa-miR-30c-4p, and hsa-miR-145-5p) and 15 downregulated. Using miRNet online prediction tool (link provided in the M and M section), genes, diseases, lncRNA, and small molecules were predicted for the upregulated group only. Data obtained indicated that 8 of the upregulated miRNAs in HeLa cervical cancer cells targets 2429 genes, two of them targets 20 different diseases, three of them target 31 small molecules, and eight of them targets 253 lncRNAs.

Conclusion: The present study revealed that hsa-miR-20b-5p could be used as a potential biomarker because of its high expression profile in CC cells.
