Long non-coding RNA XIST regulates PTEN expression by sponging miR-181a and promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression

摘要

BackgroundTumor metastasis often occurs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and influences the patient’s prognosis, and microRNAs are reported to play key roles in tumor metastasis. This study was conducted to explore the effect of microRNAs on HCC metastasis.
