Therefore, LINC01857 expression was measured in HCC and paracancerous tissues obtained from Shenzhen People’s Hospital, and the results revealed that LINC01857 was overexpressed in HCC tissues; moreover, according to the detection of LINC01857 expression in HCC cells and HL-7702 cells, LINC01857 was sufficiently upregulated in HCC cells as compared with that in HL-7702 cells (all p<0.01) (Fig 1B and 1C). Here, LINC01857 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
