VGLL4 and neoplasm: VGLL4 expression is reduced and has been verified as a tumour suppressor in HCC.35 Adenovirus‐mediated VGLL4 suppresses cell proliferation, causes G2/M phase arrest and enhances apoptosis of HCC cells, and restrains tumour growth of HCC in vivo.36 In this study, miR‐301b‐3p knockdown increased the abundance of VGLL4 in HCC cells and luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR‐301b‐3p directed bond to 3′UTR of VGLL4.
