Overexpression of Long Non-coding RNA HOTAIR Predicts Tumor Recurrence in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Following Liver Transplantation

摘要

Background The long noncoding RNA HOTAIR has been reported as a poor prognostic biomarker in patients with breast cancer. The aim of the present study is to examine the expression pattern of HOTAIR in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its clinical significance as well as its biological role in tumor progression.
