DANCR and hepatocellular carcinoma: One of the upregulated lncRNAs in LSCs was DANCR (Differentiation Antagonizing Nonprotein Coding RNA), lincRNA highly conserved between mice and humans, overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. DANCR, described as a regulator of the Wnt pathway, crucial for the biology of LSCs, was proved to play a role in LSC self-renewal and quiescence.
