Western blot results confirmed that miRNA-590-5P up-regulation suppressed OLR1 level, while this effect was reversed by BANCR up-regulation in HepG2 and HCCLM3 cells (Figure 6C), indicating that BANCR acted as a miRNA-590-5P sponge to sequester miRNA-590-5P away from OLR1 in HCC cells. Here, BANCR is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
