MYD88 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Furthermore, in the CCK8 assays, we found that Lv-Lnc-Myd88-SMMC-7721 cells presented an increased proliferation than Lv-NC-SMMC-7721 cells, whereas the proliferation of sh-Lnc-Myd88-Huh7 cells was suppressed, indicating that Lnc-Myd88 might promote the HCC cells growth (Figure 2b).
