The levels of lncRNA-CR594175 and hsa-miR142-3p in the adjacent tissues, HCC and its metastasis were positively correlated with CTNNB1 protein levels and was higher in the HCC and their metastasis than that in the adjacent tissues (p < 0.05) (Fig. 1a). Here, CTNNB1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
