In addition, the novel lncRNA DANCR, which can competitively bind to CTNNB1 (β-catenin) to relieve the inhibitory effects of miR-199a, miR-320a and miR-214 on CTNNB1, markedly enhances the cancer stemness properties of HCC cells to confer tumorigenesis and intrahepatic colonisation or lung metastasis in HCC16. Here, CTNNB1 is linked to cancer.
