In order to identify the role of LINC01572 in HCC, Huh7 and SNU-449 cells were selected for loss-of-function assays and overexpression of LINC01572 in HCC-LM3 cells, according to the basal level of LINC01572 in HCC cell lines (Figure 2A). This evidence concerns the gene LINC01572 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
