Since we have previously reported that amiloride regulates the AS of BCL‐X and HIPK3 pre‐mRNA in various cancer cell lines including human HCC cell line Huh‐7 (Chang et al., 2011a,2011b), it would be of interest to investigate if BS008 had the same effects on AS in Huh‐7. Here, BCL2L1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
