The investigation focused on function of restored FOXP4-AS1 in HCC reported that in contrast with the pcDNA group, the proliferation, invasion, colony formation, and migration were enhanced, as well as apoptosis were decreased in the pcDNA-FOXP4-AS1 group (all P < 0.05) (Fig. 4A–L). Here, FOXP4 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
