Besides, for lncRNAs, MCM3AP-AS1 has been reported to directly bind to miR-194-5p and act as ceRNA, which subsequently facilitated the expression of miR-194-5p’s target gene FOXA1 in HCC cells, thus promoting HCC cell proliferation, colony formation, and cell cycle progression [24]. Here, FOXA1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
