STAT3 and hepatocellular carcinoma: For instance, NF‐κB transcriptionally upregulated LINC01410 expression in gastric cancer, which further promoted the angiogenesis and metastasis of gastric cancer (Zhang et al., 2018); moreover, the STAT3‐mediated upregulation of lncRNA HOXD‐AS1 contributed to lung metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma by preventing SOX4 degradation induced by miR‐130a‐3p (Wang et al., 2017).
