MicroRNAs and hepatitis C virus: Toward the end of miR-122 supremacy

Table 1 Summary of the matches implied in HCV inhibition by 3 microRNAs considered as potential therapeutic targets

microRNA	Inhibition of HCV infection by
microRNA	Matches on HCV RNA	Matches on host targets
miR-196b	NS5A coding region (6680) [27]	Bach1 3’UTR (2286 and 2166) [35]
miR-199a-3p	5’UTR IRES (60) [26]	NR
miR-29	NR	NR

The numbers in brackets indicate the first nucleotide of the binding sites of the miRNAs.
UTR: untranslated region; IRES: internal ribosome entry site; NR: non reported.
