In order to prove the effect of lncRNAs in connecting T cells and HCC, Jiang et al. investigated the associations between mRNAs and lncRNAs in the tumor infiltrated lymphocytes (TILs) of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and found that lnc-EGFR levels in CD4+ T cells were highly up-regulated 55. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
