The results of the correlation studies among the three miRNAs and SPOCK1 expression form the 46 pairs of HCC and matched noncancerous liver tissues which we collected indicated that miR‐139‐5p/miR‐940/miR‐193a‐5p expressions were negatively correlated with SPOCK1 expression (Figure 5A‐C). Here, SPOCK1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
