Silence of long non-coding RNA KCNQ1OT1 inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Abstract:Background: KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1) has been reported to be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is considered as one of the most common cancers worldwide. However, the mechanism of action of KCNQ1OT1 in human HCC has not been fully explained. In this study, we aimed to explore the functional role and the potential mechanism of KCNQ1OT1 in human HCC.Methods: First, we analyzed the expression levels of KCNQ1OT1 in HCC tissues in starBase database and detected the… Show more
