Abstract: Liver cancer is the leading global lethal malignancy. Hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment is a hallmark of the tumor microenvironment, and hypoxia-inducible factor-1a is the most important transcriptional regulator in response to hypoxia. Non- coding RNA (ncRNA) play a crucial role in regulating the pathogenesis and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This review comprehensively summarizes the pathological roles of ncRNA in hepatocarcinogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and angiogen- esis under hypoxic environments, and discusses the potential applications of ncRNA as diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets for human HCC.

Key words: HIF-1a, non-coding RNA, liver cancer, tumor microenvironment
