A relationship between FTX and miR-374a has been reported: FTX sponges miR-374a, resulting in the repression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling activity and consequent inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma cell (HCC) epithelial–mesenchymal transition and invasion; moreover, FTX inhibits proliferation of HCC cells by binding the DNA replication licensing factor MCM2, and it is significantly downregulated in HCC tissues compared with normal liver tissues. Here, FTX is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
