Recent studies indicated that HCC‐related lncRNAs such as HOTAIR, HULC, H19, and MALAT1 have decisive regulatory roles in the development and progression of HCC, while their dysregulation is related to various biological processes, including differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and metastasis [9, 10]. Here, MALAT1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
