Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | hepatocellular carcinoma |
| ICD-0-3 | C22.0 |
| Methods | qPCR, RNAi, Western blot, RIP, Luciferase reporter assay, Cell proliferation assay etc. |
| Sample | HCC tissues, cell lines (MHCC97L, Huh7, MHCC97H and SK-hep1) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | UCA1 was markedly upregulated in HCC tissues. Furthermore, gain-of-function and loss-of-function analysis showed that UCA1 knockdown inhibited HCC cells proliferation and invasion in vitro and xenograft tumour growth in vivo. Moreover, UCA1 overexpression promoted cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in HCC via effectively sponging to miR-203 and thereby activating the expression of transcription factor Snail2. |
| Pubmed ID | 28271214 |
| Year | 2017 |
| Title | Long non-coding RNA UCA1 regulates the expression of Snail2 by miR-203 to promote hepatocellular carcinoma progression. |
