Recently, the mechanisms and functions of several lncRNAs, such as lncRNA-HEIH [13], HULC [14] and HOTAIR [15], were uncovered in hepatic carcinoma, the most common hepatic malignancy, and these findings led to the deeper understanding of the regulation networks and thetumorigenesis in hepatic carcinoma. Here, HEIH is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
