To further investigate the relationship between MALAT1 and IAPs in HCC, we conducted a comprehensive search in the public database Starbase and miRcode, and four miRNAs (miR‐22‐3p, miR‐455‐5p, miR‐338‐3p and miR‐101‐3p) were identified to be linked with MALAT1 in cancer. This evidence concerns the gene MALAT1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
