SNHG12 promoted liver cancer cell proliferation and invasion, and resulted in a marked reduction in apoptosis.95SNHG12 also sponged MIR‐199a/b‐5p, which directly targeted the key markers of the NF‐κB signaling pathway.95 Similar to SNHG1, the high expression level of DANCR might be a more advanced marker than AFP to identify hepatic cancer no matter in the sensitivity or specificity. This evidence concerns the gene AFP and liver cancer.
