UCK2 and hepatocellular carcinoma: The roles of lncRNA-NEAT1/miR-199a-3p/UCK2 were validated HUH7 and SNU-182 cells, which indicated that lncRNA-NEAT1 and its downstream miRNAs/mRNAs may contribute to the progression of HCC cells in hypoxic microenvironments and, therefore, are potential targets for novel therapeutic strategies for HCC.
