LIN7A and hepatocellular carcinoma: Taken together, to our knowledge, we presented the first evidence that miR-501-3p expression was reduced in metastatic HCC cell lines and its downregulation related to poor prognosis of HCC patients as well as the clue that miR-501-3p inhibited proliferation and EMT-mediated invasion and metastasis of HCC cells by suppression of LIN7A.
