1. A method of treating and/or attenuating hepatocellular carcinoma in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of specifically inhibiting expression of a human NLGn4 gene product, said human NLGn4 gene product comprising SEQ ID NO: 2, and said agent comprising one or more siRNAs having a length of 20-25 base pairs and a sequence with at least 95% complementarity to at least a portion of SEQ ID NO: 2, thereby treating and/or attenuating the hepatocellular carcinoma. |
