Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | hepatocellular carcinoma |
| ICD-0-3 | C22.0 |
| Methods | qPCR, RNAi, Western blot, MTT assay etc. |
| Sample | HCC tissues, cell lines (GSG701, Hep3B, HepG2, Huh7, SMMC 7721 and HCC LM3) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | The expression of UC001kfo was upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines in comparison with tumour-adjacent tissues and normal hepatocytes, respectively. In addition, a high UC001kfo level was determined to be correlated with macro-vascular invasion and TNM stage of HCC. In addition, UC001kfo was verified to promote the proliferation, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in HCC cells in both in vitro and in vivo assays. Mechanistically, a-SMA was indicated as a potential target gene of UC001kfo in mediating HCC metastasis. |
